Late for School by Steve Martin is about what happens to a boy who moves very fast, I mean VERY fast. When he wakes up one morning, his first thought is about getting to school on time. Quick, quick he puts on his shirt and pants, flies downstairs, bumps into his grandmother, and creates chaos. Similar silliness follows him all the way to the school building. It's closed. It's Saturday. C.F. Payne's illustrations match Martin's absurdity. Steve Martin's comedy is physical and linguistic. This large book has a big presence.
