A Day Off School by Oliver Jeffers

A hilarious story full of action and adventure from two highly regarded, award-winning picture-book creators. When Herbie has the sniffles, he stays home from school. It's exciting to have time to play Space Blasters and watch cartoons.

But, by lunchtime, he starts to wonder what he might be missing at school. What if there's an extra playtime, a dog on the loose … or even A PIRATE INVASION? Is Herbie missing out on all the action? A hilarious, action-packed story from the globally bestselling creator of Lost and Found and Here We Are, Oliver Jeffers, and the award-winning illustrator of Chocolate Cake, Kevin Waldron.
