Smitty is never late for school. Not when his shoes get stuck in a sea of thick, black tar. Not when the sky rains snowmen down on the city streets. Not when he uses his coat for a sail to catch a gale and is swallowed up by a whale. Or when he encounters a robot from Mars eating up cars... or a very, very hungry T-Rex! The surprise ending will delight young readers as they cheer on Smitty and his heroic efforts to beat the school bell.
