<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In this exuberant companion to <i>If I Built a Car</i>, a boy fantasizes about his dream school--from classroom to cafeteria to library to playground.</b> <p/><i></i><br><i>My school will amaze you. My school will astound.</i><br><i>By far the most fabulous school to be found!</i><br><i>Perfectly planned and impeccably clean.</i><br><i>On a scale, 1 to 10, it's more like 15!</i><br><i>And learning is fun in a place that's fun, too.</i> <p/>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Texas Bluebonnet Award Winner</b> <p/>An all-day sugar rush, putting the 'fun' back into, er, education. --<i>Kirkus <p/></i>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. --<i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Chris Van Dusen</b> is the author and illustrator of several highly acclaimed picture books, including the hugely popular Mercy Watson series.
