Murphy doesn’t want to go to school. He has butterflies in his tummy and ants in his pants! But no amount of made-up excuses convince his dad to let him stay home. Just when Murphy has all but given up, his father brings him up-to-date-it’s Saturday!

Now available as an 8×8 paperback with stickers, this picturebook is full of comic sympathy for young students.
