Skip School, Fly to Space: A Pearls Before Swine Collection, Hardcover/Stephan Pastis

Hokey lessons and ancient textbooks are no match for a good Rockitt Shipp, kids. The poorly behaved cast of Pearls Before Swine invites you to a magical world filled with silly talking animals and mostly bald humans. There's Rat, a master of evil. Pig, who seems to be made to suffer--it's his lot in life. And while the braindead Crocs unsuccessfully hunt poor Zebra, the wise (and noted loser) Goat looks on in disapproving horror. So take a homework break and prep the hyperdrive for light speed. . . . It's another hilarious Pearls kids collection
