Butterflies in My Stomach and Other School Hazards

Annotation

You can bet your bottom dollar this funny story is the cream of the cropand the best thing since sliced bread! Award-winning artist Serge Bloch will have kids laughing their heads off at this childs-eye look at idiomatic expressions like ants in your pants, homework is for the birds, and cat got your tongue? These commonly used sayings make sense in the adult world, but just imagine what a child pictures when she hears its raining cats and dogs! With witty and wonderful images that mix whimsical line drawings with photographs of inanimate objects, Bloch gives us a unique and sympathetic perspective on a boys first day of school where colorful butterflies flutter in our heros stomach and a cloud rains on him when hes under the weather. Even the big cheese Principal has a body cut out of a block of Swiss.
