Fannie, third grade: I like to watch them play in the gym.
Ariana, fifth grade: I liked the pictures.
Katie, sixth grade: I really like the pictures.
Karli, fifth grade: I loved this book! It had a lot of details. The illustrations were amazing! It pulled me into the book. I just wanted to keep reading it over and over again!
Connor, fifth grade: It is funny, good, and made me want more books like it.
Julia, fifth grade: I liked this book because the illustrations are amazing.
Gabrielle, third grade: The kid in the book has a lot of imagination, but a school would never work like that.
Haden, first grade: The book was good.
Brynly, first grade: The book was amazing. I wanted to pick it up and read it.
Kamdon, first grade: I really liked the book but I didn't like the alien's face.
Ryder, first grade: I loved this book very much.

Kendra, first grade: The book was so awesome because it had great pictures and I wanted to check it out so bad.
Tyler, second grade: The story is about a boy who thinks if I built a school I would put a lot of cool stuff in it. My best part is the playground. He said he would put in a zip line and a twisty slide.
Tristan, fifth grade: If I Built a School is a book about a boy that daydreams about weird, cool stuff like submarine bikes and hover desks. My best place is the gym with skydiving wind tunnels.
Charity, kindergarten: My favorite picture is the playground. The swing and zipline and slide would be fun. I also liked the books in the library, and the teacher writing in air.
