Gifford, Peggy. Schwartz & Wade (May 8, 2007).
*Appropriate for grades 3-5*
A classic tale of procrastination, Moxy meant to read Stuart Little all summer. Between her synchronized swim practices and creating the List of 210 Possible Career Paths with her best friend, Sam, it just didn't happen. It is now the last day of summer vacation, and Moxy needs to read the entire book before the first day of 4th grade... however, her fantastic imagination just keeps getting in the way.
- Unenthusiastic readers will love this quick read, which includes real photographs to illustrate Moxy's day (taken by her twin brother, Mark). This is a chapter book, yet the text is short. Some chapters span less than one page.
- A great read-aloud choice for the first days of school and discussing the difference between "just right" versus "have to" books.
- Daydreamers and procrastinators will easily connect with this humorous story.
