Late for School

Humorous child's quest against tardiness.

If mornings often feel like a race against the clock, "Late for School" will resonate and tickle your funny bone. Written by the iconic Steve Martin, this book wraps wry humor in a relatable school-centric scramble. It's a charming read not just for kids, but for any adult who remembers the sprint to beat the bell.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Getting to school has never been quite this difficult--or hilarious. Celebrated writer and performer Steve Martin and dynamic artist C. F. Payne (illustrator of John Lithgow's children's books) have teamed up to tell a story of the adventure, danger, and laughs of the journey to school. Enclosed with the book is a CD of Martin on banjo and vocals, singing the book's story with a bluegrass twist. Undoubtedly a new classic for readers of all ages, Late for School is the perfect gift to be read--and listened to--again and again.
