I Didn't Do My Homework Because...

by Davide Calì, Benjamin Chaud

É impossível fazer os trabalhos de casa quando um avião de macacos aterra à nossa porta. Além disso, os elfos esconderam todos os lápis. E houve também um problema com plantas carnívoras! As desculpas absurdas seguem-se umas às outras, num crescendo hilariante, mas a professora não se deixa enganar...

زمان استفاده از این کتاب: هر موقع که مشق‌هات رو ننوشتی
هشدار! از هر بهانه فقط یکبار استفاده کنید

This is just too funny to read. A refreshing change!

I wish there were more reasons and illustrations about not doing homework!

The illustrations are detailed and colourful. My imagination got a kick just by looking at those pictures!

I love children's books for this!

But yes, the lame excuses for not doing homework are just too funny!

I wish there were more!

سبک نقاشیاش برام عجیب بود ولی ایده هاش خیلی بامزه بودند.

+دوباره رفتم خوندمش ببینم مثل کتاب دومی اشاره به داستان ها داره یا نه، که دیدم نه خیلی.

BOY I COULD I HAVE USED THIS BOOK - K-12!

[Simay Yildiz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Günışığı Kitaplığı sayesinde gerçekten birbirinden sevimli çocuk kitapları okuyorum! Davide Cali ile de yine onlar sayesinde tanıştım. İsviçre doğumlu, İtalyan yazar Davide Cali, meğerse çocukların ve gençlerin dünyasını yıllardır renklendiriyormuş ve kitapları 25’ten fazla ülkede yayınlanıp, pek çok dile çevrilmiş. Benim kendisiyle tanışmam, dilimize yeni çevrilen Okuldaki Hayalci Dizisinin ilk iki kitabı olan Ödevimi Yapamadım Çünkü Acayip Şeyler Oldu ve Okula Gelirken Çok Komik Şeyler Oldu ile oldu. Zaten kitapların isimlerinden bile ne kadar sevimli oldukları anlaşılıyor, değil mi?

Davide Cali hikâyelerini görsel bir şölene çeviren isim ise Fransız illüstratör Benjamin Chaud. Onun da altmıştan fazla kitabı yayınlanmış ve kendisini biraz stalk’ladığımda gördüm ki çizimleri gerçekten inanılmaz sevimli ve ağırlıklı olarak çocuk kitapları için çizim yapmış. Çizim yaptığı kitapların sadece kapaklarına bile bakınca insanın eline alıp, içinde kaybolası geliyor!

I Didn’t Do My Homework Because…opens with the age old question --

“So, why didn’t you do your homework?”

Rather than using the classics like my dog ate my homework or the computer crashed, our no-homework-in-hand youngster comes up with some outlandishly funny and imaginative reasons why he could not get his homework done.

Every page is packed with jumbles and swirls of zaniness and movement. The detail in the pictures really stand out in the patterns and faces and animals. From monkeys to armadillos! This kid tries them all! :)

My favorite was….”I gave my pencils to Robin Hood.”

A fun read that will inspire young readers to spin a few tall tales of their own.

Btw…The UFO abduction story never works. No one ever believed me! ;)

So many fun excuses highlighting why our protagonist doesn’t have his homework.

معلمی از شاگردش میپرسه چرا تکالیفت رو انجام ندادی و این بچه شروع میکنه تمام دلایل عجیب و غریب و تخیلی و بی ربطی که میتونید تو عمرتون بشنوید رو برای معلمش ردیف میکنه!
بشقاب پرنده ای اومد و اونو با خودش برد!
تو مراسم خاکسپاری گربش شرکت کرده بوده(تو تصاویر کتاب، گربهه زنده و متعجب از توی یه جعبه زل زده به بیرون:))
خانوادگی یه پنگوئن پیدا کردن که راهش رو گم کرده بود و مجبور شدن ببرنش به قطب شمال😔 ولی بعد فهمیدن که پنگوئن ها قطب جنوب زندگی میکنن پس این بار مجبور شدن ببرنش به قطب جنوب!(دهنت سرویس بچه :)))))
برادرش باز به سرش زده بوده(توی تصاویر میبینیم که گویا برادره گرگنما تشریف داشته و تبدیل به یه گرگ شده! 😂)

کتاب واقعا بامزه ست و ایده ی خفن و جدیدی داره!
تصویر سازی های کتاب قشنگ هستن و متن رو کامل میکنن چون یه جاهایی برای گرفتن مطلب، باید حتما به تصاویر و نقاشی ها توجه کرد!
حتما سراغ باقی جلدهای این مجموعه خواهم رفت. ^_^

این روزهای آخر سال انقدر درگیر بودم که کلا از زندگی غافل شدم، کتابایی که در حال خوندنشونم همونطوری نیمه کاره باقی موندن.
یک ساعت پیش که از سر بیخوابی تو تلگرام میچرخیدم این کتاب تو کانال مائده دیدم با توجه به حجم خیلی کمش انتخاب خوبی بود واسه این موقع از شب.
کتاب باحالی بود یاد بهانه های با مزه ای افتادم که بچه ها برای حل نکردن تمریناشون بهم میدن.
این آخرین کتاب امسالم شد و بقیشون میرن برای سال بعد ؛)))

Έξυπνη ιδέα !
Σίγουρα ένα κάλο βιβλίο για "ανήσυχους" μαθητές στις πρώτες τάξεις του δημοτικού.
Πολύ καλή η εικονογράφηση!
Θα αγοραστεί 100% για τα βαφτιστήρια μου όταν έρθει η ώρα!

از تابستون که زینب سر کلاس تعریف دیوید کالی رو میکرد و بعد که کتاب‌باز خانم مصطفی زاده رو دیدم خیلی دوست داشتم از این مجموعه حداقل یک جلد رو بخونم اما حس میکنم شاید انتظار خیلی بالا رفته بود. باحال بود، میشد کلی با بچه‌ها دیدش، ورقش زد و راجع به مشق و بهانه آوردن و... حرف زد.

See, I never had this problem. I never gave the teacher absurd reasons for not doing my homework or try to excuse my lack of academic achievement by mentioning alien abductions. My mom was a teacher and when you are a teacher’s kid, you invariably do your homework. Whether you want to or not. I liked school so I mostly wanted to. Except math but that’s a dirty word and I will not mention it henceforth.

This little prettily packaged volume gives the desperate underachiever a variety of reasons to offer his teacher for not doing his homework. Admittedly, the reasons are mostly absurd and not very useful in that regard (there really should be a volume that gives legitimate excuses that can be used in these cases; maybe I’ll write one myself someday) but the illustrations are bright and the one fun.

The ending, though, makes me raise my eyebrows because it doesn't seem to be in tune with the rest of the book and there is a definite sense of the adult there that I found jarring and unwelcome. Other than that, I liked this.

I can see ways I'd use this as a text to inspire writing in my classroom. In fact, I did! After using this with students, I upped my star rating because of how much they enjoyed it. My 7th & 8th graders ranked this in their Top Ten of picture books used in the school year when we read aloud a picture book every day. When I had them do their own version of this story, they created some of the most fun student writing I've ever read.

استراتژیهایی که بچه ها گاهی به کار میبرن فوق العاده ست من همیشه با خودم میگم اینا واقعا چطور میتونن اینقدر تخیل کنن.
این کتاب داستان پسری است که مشق هاش رو ننوشته و سعی میکنه توضیح بده که دلیلش چی بوده!
تصاویر کتاب عالیه

-We found a lost penguin, so we took him to the North Pole
-“But Penguins live at the South Pole!”
-Exactly! When we realized our mistake, we had to come back and take him to the other Pole...

✾ children’s book review ✾

Fabulous art!

☆ Blog | Twitter ☆

[Erik This Kid Reviews Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

Students rejoice! No more do you need the old line - ”The dog ate my homework.” This book is stuffed with new and exciting reasons why you didn’t do your homework! In this book you’ll find creative answers for non-homework doing. Like:

“I didn’t do my homework because…”

giant lizards invaded…

my dog got eaten by another dog…

rebellious robots…

lost armadillos…

and much, much more!

Just make sure your teacher hasn’t read the same book.

Opinion- As a kid, do I really have to tell you why I like this book after the description? Okay, I will. This book is hilarious! Each excuse gets wilder than the next. The book is one that all kids can enjoy. The illustrations are AWESOME! I love the wildness, and I love the kid’s hair. These are magnificent, the style of them is humorous and well-done.

Mr. Cali and Mr. Chaud created a hilarious book together. The ending of the book is great (let’s just say his teacher is “on to” the boy). I recommend this to any child who has forgotten their homework, forgets their homework, or will forget their homework or is just too lazy to do it. ;) I don’t recommend this to teachers (for obvious reasons). ;)
*NOTE I got a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

From Publishers Weekly:

Chaud's crabbed pen-and-ink drawings give a distinctly Gothic sensibility to Cali's (The Bear with the Sword) sly collection of homework excuses. The narrator, a boy dressed in a suit and tie, negotiates with his teacher. "An airplane full of monkeys landed in our yard," he tries. Chaud (The Bear's Song) draws an army of monkeys invading the boy's study, swinging from the light, mussing his hair, and scattering his papers. "Elves hid all of my pencils," he offers. Things look good at first—the boy is in his place at his desk, his book open in front of him—but closer inspection reveals two giddy elves underneath the desk with pencils sticking out of their ears and noses. "Giant lizards invaded my neighborhood," the boys says, as a huge alligator holds a school bus in its jaws, and a lizard nabs the boy's homework with its sticky tongue. The other 20 or so excuses and their illustrations are equally entertaining. Even children who don't yet have homework will long to try out a few of these wild explanations for themselves.
