School's in session! When it comes to surviving school, Percy's at the head of the class.

If you can follow his ten simple rules, making the grade will be a piece of cake (and school will be a lot of fun). But there's more to school than showing up on time and staying awake in class. If you have any doubts, Percy also shows exactly what not to do.

  • No spitballs!
  • No running in the halls!
  • No bouncing off the ceiling!
No crazy scheming!

See what other trouble―and tips―Percy has in mind!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The story's rhyme makes it fast-paced, and the colorful illustrations are fun to look at. Younger students will enjoy the humor, and teachers can use the story as a review of classroom rules." --Library Media Connection



"Percy, the self-assured host from Thanksgiving Rules, returns with some guidelines for starting school on the right foot.... Murfin creates a playfully skewed school environment with her wobbly collages and rosy-cheeked students." --Publishers Weekly

    My students loved this book on the first day of school. It's hard to transition from the little kid hall to the big kid hall, but this book let them know a little about me and my class and made them feel more comfortable!

    It also helped them understand why we have classroom rules and why they were important!

    I really enjoyed reading this book to my students, and they enjoyed the voice of the main character schooling them on the rules! The rhyming beat and funny reminders make discussing rules so much fun. Some people may not like that most (99%) of the rules are written in the negative ("Don't do this... don't do that..."). But I felt it made sense since more students will remember what they're NOT supposed to do, as opposed to what they are... and it's told from a child's point of view. Fun read!
