What will Jake do when he forgets to bring the special collection he's going to share at the celebration of the 100th day of school?
Jake and his fellow students are getting ready for a celebration. Tomorrow is the 100th day of school and everyone is going to share their collections of 100 things.
The day of the celebration arrives. Jake's friend Henry brings 100 bottle caps and Emily brings 100 paper clips. But Jake forgets the 100 family pictures he has glued into a special memory book at home. Disaster!
The problem is solved thanks to Jake's ingenuity and the sensitivity of his wonderful principal, Mrs. Wadsworth. He does have a collection to display that day... and something special to share with the class on the 101st day of school.
Lester Laminack's well-crafted story shows schools in their best light and Judy Love's charming illustrations brightly capture the excitement of a busy school day.
"Love's richly realistic, abundantly detailed pencil, ink, and watercolor illustrations spill across the pages, picturing African American Jake and his multicultural class relishing the excitement and chaos of the day. Kids will want to bring in their own 100th-day collections." --Booklist
