In this Spanish edition of Junior Library Guild selection I Didn't Do My Homework Because . . . homework (or the lack thereof) is the inspiration for a laugh-out-loud look at the not-so-true stories that ensue when an assignment is left undone: giant lizards invaded the neighborhood; gremlins hid all the pens; the dog was swallowed up by another dog and the afternoon was spent at the vet. And then there was that problem with carnivorous plants. . . . The excuses go on and on, each more absurd than the next. With detail-rich illustrations and a delightfully wry text, this favorite by Davide Cali and Benjamin Chaud is guaranteed to amuse kids and their parents, not to mention anyone (and isn't that everyone?) who has experienced a slacker student moment.

Benjamin Chaud has illustrated more than 60 books. He is the illustrator of I Didn't Do My Homework Because . . . , A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to School . . . , and The Truth About My Unbelievable Summer . . . . He is the author and illustrator of the New York Times Notable Book The Bear's Song, The Bear's Sea Escape, The Bear's Surprise, and Farewell Floppy. He lives in Die, France.
