Summary
Go straightly to school, Our Kid,” said Dad. But unless a fish-driven submarine, dinopirates and an elephant ride are the fastest way to school, Our Kid is not doing too well.
This tour-de-force of invention from the legendary Tony Ross takes you on a journey to school like no other, and shows that sometimes the oddballs (especially of the goat variety) win the day!

Critics Review
“Ross’ cartoon-style illustrations with their characteristic shaky ink line and painterly watercolors evoke humor that reinforces the absurdity of the tale. A tall tale with lots of fun kidding around.” * Kirkus *
“With a sympathetic protagonist and lovably quirky ink-and-watercolor illustrations, this picture book delivers plenty of read-aloud fun.” * Booklist *
“Fantastic story… Ross’s off-beat use of language is both inspired and playful” * Red Reading Hub *
“In Our Kid Tony Ross has produced yet another marvellously unique miracle” * The School Librarian *
