It's not my fault because - : the kids' book of excuses

Excuses, excuses! But, do you need some good ones? Of course you do - everyone does sometimes! And, the wilder and wackier the better. After all, why stick to reality when a wisecrack can make them laugh?

Who invented excuses? The Day's First Rude Responses; Classroom Capers, What's Eating You?

Teacher Features; Getting Nosy...; What Are You Doing?

What Have You Got There? You're Driving Me Crazy; So, next time an adult sees you snacking on sweets and says "Are you eating junk food?", you smile innocently and say "You mean sugar, salt chocolate and crisps aren't the four main food groups?"
