Bookroo's summary

Violet's excitement over her new backpack turns into chaos when its many pockets cause her to lose her homework. In a panic, she lies to her teacher, only to face an even tougher assignment. As Violet navigates the consequences of her fib, she learns a valuable lesson about honesty and organization. Will she find a way to untangle her mess before it's too late?

From the publisher

Beloved author Nancy Poydar takes a sympathetic look at learning to get organized in this buoyant picture book about homework. Ziiip! Riiip! Cliick! Violet’s new backpack is perfect. It has pockets that zip, snap, and strap. It’s just what Violet needs to hold her very first homework assignment–or is it? An anxious student discovers that it’s more important to tell the truth than to keep it zipped up in this timely tale.
