From the publisher

“Now I know why Mom made me ride my bike to school. I missed so much!” –Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert “Josh Lieb continues to put out hilarious children’s books that make up for his conspicuous lack of hilarious children’s existential one act plays. Get on that, Lieb!!” –Jon Stewart, host of The Problem with Jon Stewart A spooky and hilarious spin on a classic children’s song, from the author of Chapter Two is Missing and the illustrator of The Panda Problem It’s the first day of school, and for Cassius and Angelique, that means their first ride on the school bus.
