Description
About the Book
Imaginative Jack describes the kind of school he would build--one full of animals, with tubes to transport students directly to their classrooms, and library books that come alive.Book Synopsis
In this exuberant companion to If I Built a Car, a boy fantasizes about his dream school--from classroom to cafeteria to library to playground.My school will amaze you. My school will astound.
By far the most fabulous school to be found!
Perfectly planned and impeccably clean.
On a scale, 1 to 10, it's more like 15!
And learning is fun in a place that's fun, too. If Jack built a school, there would be hover desks and pop-up textbooks, skydiving wind tunnels and a trampoline basketball court in the gym, a robo-chef to serve lunch in the cafeteria, field trips to Mars, and a whole lot more. The inventive boy who described his ideal car and house in previous books is dreaming even bigger this time.
Review Quotes
Texas Bluebonnet Award Winner "An all-day sugar rush, putting the 'fun' back into, er, education." --Kirkus "Told in excellently structured rhyming couplets, this story has a Seussian feel, although the vocabulary is much more varied and advanced. . . . Reluctant readers will be especially intrigued." --School Library Journal

Love love love anything by author Chris Van Dusen. This author writes with such flow, rhyme and rhythm that I makes reading aloud fun for the reader and listened. And I love his 'If I built a...' series because it always fosters imagination and fun discussions.
