I have talked about this book to my wife for 13 years. I thought it was all in my head because I couldn't remember the title. I had nightmares of being locked into a chair sipping weak tea wishing I'd never finished all 3 days of the book. My childhood brain forgot the ending. I'm glad I found the book again and read it as an adult.
This book isn't anything special at all, or even good at all, but it was super duper short and it gave me some good laughs for the past 30 minutes since I've been sick.
A 3rd grade teacher uses this as a novel unit, and I finally got around to reading it. Funny, perfect for a classroom set, but nothing amazing. I wish the publishers would print an updated version with new pictures!

Another silly book from childhood...
Just as silly as I'd remembered! I do wish there weren't so many negative words in it, though, as I'd like my kids to read it. (Dumb, stupid, etc.)
One nostalgic scene has Milo drinking from the fountain at school and the kids behind him calling, "Save some for the fishes!" I remember thinking that was such a clever line and repeating it every chance I got for years in school.

Good for 2nd or 3rd graders. Very fast slim read. A little 1 dimensional but not bad.

Revisited this when I found my old copy of it from first grade. It was a fun nostalgic little read.
More like how to make a fool of yourself in three days!
I just had a far away thought about childhood and remembered that I absolutely LOVED this book! I read it all they way through on my 4th grade winter break.
