He doesn’t even look tempted to jump around or pull a braid or give a punch. Gavin can do all that being good stuff so easily. He looks over at Gavin, his new best friend. He must try really hard not to pull one of Nikki’s fat braids. He’ll have to make sure he doesn’t make a fart sound with his hand in his armpit. He’ll have to make sure he keeps his lips together and doesn’t punch Ralph in the shoulder for fun. Then, he’ll have to walk in an “orderly fashion” to the line at the classroom door. First, he must get up and push his chair under the desk and stand behind it like a soldier. When his table is called, he will have to hold him-self back from jumping up and running out of there. She’s the teacher and she’s really nice and he likes her a lot. He only has to endure waiting for everyone at his table to straighten up and look “ready to be dismissed.” Those are Ms. When the bell rings, that’s the signal for freedom. Four minutes until his weekend officially begins. This book might be good for a read aloud in a classroom, but i feel there are other books that would be worth reading aloud a lot more than this one.Richard is watching the clock above the whiteboard. But i can see how some teachers and parents would want their children to read it since it does show that they may like school too. I feel as thought the message was too straight forward, listen, follow the rules, and school is fun. I think that this book was a little too much. He also ends up getting to go to the birthday party too! In the end of the book he decides that he should actually try to learn and he found out that he loves learning. Instead of getting to show off his new trick, called the flat-ground Ollie at the birthday party he was wanting to go to, he has to face the consequences of all the mischief he is up to.
Richard gets a note sent home to give to his parents. Richard gets in trouble at school because he does not try hard enough and his teacher knows that Richard can do better.
This book is about a boy named Richard who loves skateboarding.
