An uproariously funny and relatable tale of a monster who loves school, but hates the commute! Bird tells Monster it’s time to walk to school. Monster stays in bed. It’s not school he’s resisting. He loves school! It’s the getting there he hates. And, today, Monster declares, he will not walk to school. Will Bird’s cajoling help? Nope. How about Bird’s reminder that the pancake breakfast is today? Hmm ... Fine. Monster will drag himself out the door. But, no matter what, he will not walk to school! Who hasn’t had one of those days? Kids will love - and relate to - Monster’s hilarious avoidance antics!
