This rollicking picture book by Davide Cali and Benjamin Chaud introduces Henry, a student eager to impress a new classmate with an over-the-top description of their school. From secret inventions to monster teachers and a cafeteria requiring ninja skills, Henry's tales are wildly imaginative. The book cleverly plays with the line between truth and exaggeration, culminating in a delightful twist that encourages children to think about storytelling and honesty. It's a fantastic read-aloud for ages 4-8 and an engaging independent read for 7-11, perfect for sparking conversations about imagination, friendship, and the sometimes-intimidating experience of starting somewhere new.
Beware of . . . this school?! Henry is taking his new classmate on a whirlwind tour of their school. Mysterious inventions lurk, the cafeteria requires ninja skills, and some teachers may be monsters! Is this fantastical school to be believed? Or is there an even more outrageous surprise in store?
