About this listen

In this exuberant addition to the award-winning If I Built series, Jack fantasizes about his dream school—from classroom to cafeteria, from library to playground!

“My school will amaze you. My school will astound.
By far the most fabulous school to be found!”

Jack is back! And this time, his imagination takes him back to school, where he dreams up the ideal environment for him and his classmates. If Jack built a school, there would be hover desks and pop-up textbooks, skydiving wind tunnels, a trampoline basketball court in the gym, a robo-chef to serve lunch in the cafeteria, field trips to Mars, and a whole lot more.

Complete with detailed, futuristic illustrations, bright colors, and an infectious rhythm, this out-of-this-world read-aloud is a master class in imaginative fun.

Critic reviews

Texas Bluebonnet Award Winner

"An all-day sugar rush, putting the 'fun' back into, er, education." —Kirkus

"Told in excellently structured rhyming couplets, this story has a Seussian feel, although the vocabulary is much more varied and advanced. . . . Reluctant readers will be especially intrigued." —School Library Journal
