COPY ISBN
Gr 3–6—Romain provides helpful homework hints, such as making a schedule, not procrastinating, getting a homework buddy, taking short breaks, prioritizing, and eating a healthy snack before beginning. His valuable suggestions empower readers to balance work and play, manage their time effectively, keep on task, and even leave some time for relaxing. The title addresses gripes such as not having enough time, not understanding the homework, not being able to finish it, too much homework, forgetting books, and more. Romain's strategies are easy to implement. The illustrations are colorful and lively, and the layout is effective. The information is detailed enough to be helpful but is not overwhelming.
VERDICT This no-nonsense, quick guide leaves no stone unturned and will be an invaluable read for any kid who has ever struggled to finish homework or who wants to develop better study habits.
