Sometimes, a fun break from the seriousness of life and fiction is needed, and this book offered that fun getaway. The illustrations are as delightful as the excuses, of which a few perhaps felt partly familiar! ;-)

Reflections and lessons learned/the content of this book made me feel…
…that sometimes the fun is in the cliche! Simple and sweet, and a series that I’m looking forward to working through

Great
Although it may seem like real excuses, but it is not, it is better. It is absolutely amazing. I would recommend it to almost everyone. 😀
