The Saturday Escape — Daniel J. Mahoney

Saturday is Jack's favorite day -- story hour day! But Jack and his friends Angie and Melden can't go to the library until they finish their chores, and it looks as if they might have to miss story hour altogether. Unless, of course, they can come up with a plan to get out of doing their work and sneak away . . .
The power of a good story brings a mischievous Saturday to a satisfying conclusion in this playful picture book featuring amazingly fresh, captivating illustrations by a talented first-time author/illustrator.
