Weekend Mischief

Why does the weekend seem to go so fast? It's Saturday and the boy in this book has a lot to do. There are crimes to commit (stealing warm biscuits from the kitchen), chores to be done (mowing his bedroom garden), and torture to endure (getting a haircut from a wizard). But there's fun to be had, too, such as growing icicles in the living room or roasting marshmallows with his pet unicorn. Rob Jackson, author of Animal Mischief, describes the weekend antics of a boy in this comical collection of poems featuring zany illustrations by Mark Beech.
