ReviewsMiss Mingo and her kindergarten class of animals are back, this time celebrating both the 100th day of school and one another's amazing capabilities...Harper's cartoon illustrations highlight the class's enthusiasm and emotions. Though many pages group items to facilitate counting, not every 100 is countable: Centipede's legs aren't all in the frame, and Pelican's project is the fact that this bird dives "into the ocean from 100 feet in the air." The 100th day of school has never looked this diverse. --Kirkus Reviews, Miss Mingo and her kindergarten class of animals are back, this time celebrating both the 100th day of school and one another's amazing capabilities. . .Harper's cartoon illustrations highlight the class's enthusiasm and emotions.
