Recess
"An interactive picture book in which students participate in riotous recesses to break up the tiresome moments at school."--
Bestselling and award-winning creator Lane Smith presents an interactive read-aloud that invites readers to take a break, run wild with their imaginations, and join in on some good-natured, school-sanctioned shenanigans.
School is where you go to learn. It is fun.
But sometimes you need a little break from all the fun.
That is why there is recess.
But what if it’s not recess time?
No problem!
You can have a Now Recess, a Really-Need-a-Break Recess, or a Wherever-You-Are Recess. It doesn’t matter what you call it. Just make sure you shout it:
RECESS!
Featuring the distinctive humour and beloved art of bestselling Caldecott honouree Lane Smith, this irresistibly fun, interactive read-aloud is the perfect stress reliever to send kids into fits of giggles and shaking out their wiggles.
