This book has A LOT jam packed into twenty-six pages. It includes history, problems between students, self-confidence issues and why it is important in today’s society NOT to announce anything about something being on fire in a classroom. What a disaster if the school had to be evacuated for no reason!
The synopsis on the book is rather simple; Gilbert does not want to participate in the school play, but eventually ends up memorizing his lines. He thinks someone has stolen his hat, when really he has just left it at home. He shouts, “liar, liar, pants on fire,” and someone tells the teacher that the school is on fire! By the end of it, apologies are accepted among the other students.
The book has an overall good intentions, it is just not my preferred style of writing for children’s literature!
