A hilarious story full of action and adventure from two highly regarded, award-winning picture-book creators.

When Herbie has the sniffles, he has to take the day off school. But Herbie doesn't mind – he is excited about all the things he can do at home, like building a fort, playing Space Blasters and racing his cars!

But by lunchtime, Herbie has grown tired of keeping himself busy, and he starts to wonder what might be happening at school… What if there is a dog on the loose? What if pirates have invaded? Is Herbie missing out on all the action?

A Day Off School is a delightful tale by Oliver Jeffers that captures the imagination and adventure of a child's unexpected day at home.
