From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6. Contrary to what children believe, homework is not meant to make them miserable. It is a serious business, however, and one of the great things about it is that "you get to do it at home." This and other homework homilies, along with strategies for getting tasks done, are presented in a humorous, lively format with black-and-white cartoon drawings. Designed to make kids laugh while recognizing the importance of school assignments, this is a great little paperback for parents and educators to share with those who think homework is the bane of childhood.?Pamela K.

Review
How To Do Homework Without Throwing Up is insightful reading for teachers and parents, but it is specifically directed to students who will laugh along with Trevor Romain's jokes and cartoons and witticisms as he teaches important homework truths such as: Though it might feel good at the time, throwing a fit will not make your homework easier to do. Dogs do not eat homework, especially science projects. Students of all ages and grade placements will learn valuable homework skills like how to make a homework schedule, how to get help with homework assignments, and how to avoid TV-Homework-Neck. How To Do Homework Without Throwing Up should be on the shelves of every school and community library in the country! -- Midwest Book Review

great product
I love this product. It gives my fine hair the stand and volume I need. Would not want to miss it. I tried other brands, but the Nioxin works best for me.

OK book
I bought this for help with my 6.5-year-old since he finally has homework and has been giving us a hard time. Its written for an older child to use as a guide, so wasn't all that helpful at this stage. Maybe in a few years it will be, dunno.

Homework
Very good book. Helps with getting kids to do their homework. It is a very good reference book. We have used it alot.
