Abigail ★★★★★

I snagged one of the limited signed copies and it arrived fast in perfect condition, the signature crisp on the title page. Can't wait to gift this to my nephew—the premise of what you'd miss on a day off school is exactly his kind of silly humor.

Edward ★★★★★

The signature on the title page is a nice touch since my kid loves Oliver Jeffers’ art, and the story itself is such a clever idea about all the wild things you’d miss on a school day. It arrived quickly and sealed well, so the hardcover didn’t get banged up in shipping.

Aurora ★★★★★

Got this for my nephew who's obsessed with Jeffers and the story itself is pure chaos in the best way—the kind of book that makes kids ask "what if?" all day. The signed copy was the real draw for me, but the hardcover feels sturdy enough to survive a few dozen re-reads.
