Dive into this festive tale of procrastination and holiday magic.
From the publisher
No time for homework!
When Mrs. Byrd gives the class homework for the weekend, Gilbert just can’t seem to find the time to do it. That’s because it’s almost Christmas, and Gilbert has other important things to do, like decorating Christmas cookies, ice skating with his friends, and helping his family find the perfect Christmas tree. What will Gilbert do when Monday morning comes?
The joyous holiday feeling around Gilbert’s house comes alive in this funny, festive story that’s perfect for anyone who’s ever put off a chore.
