If I Built a School

Title: If I Built a School
Author and Illustrator: Chris Van Dusen
Genre: fantasy and Science Fiction
Awards: Bluebonnet Award

Teacher evaluation: I would read this book in the classroom. Not for a lesson, but just because it is very funny and entertaining. It is important for us to read books like this because it gives the children more things to imagine. 

Summary: Jack thought the playground was plain and the school was boring, and he had a plan. It would have puppies at your feet, and a zoo to greet you. It would have a tube where you would get right to the room. The rooms would be made of towers. and the roofs who open up. You would also write in the air. You would have hover desks that did not touch the ground. There would be holograms that would have the guests. the library would come to life. In the gym there would be a pool with submarines a bounce house, rock wall and sky diving wind tunnels. There is a robot chef to make whatever you want. The playground has ziplines, twisty slides and a lazy river. In art there are sprays, loud instruments and weird creatures. With lots of field trips. His school will shock everybody in the end 15/10
