He tries to skip kindergarten when he finds out he won't learn to read until first grade. 'I'll be back next year,' he says. When Tomie goes to see Snow White, he creates another sensation. Tomie dePaola's childhood memories are hilarious, and his charming illustrations are sure to please.'A thoroughly entertaining and charming story.'School Library Journal'DePaola successfully evokes the voice of a precocious, inquisitive fiveyearold everyone would want to befriend. Charming blackandwhite illustrations animate the scenes and add a period flare, including a photo albumlike assemblage of the characters' portraits at the book's start.'Publishers weekly
