A uniquely humorous and deeply profound novel from a legendary stand-up comedian that follows the thoughts of a 1960s third grader during a single day at school.

Its title hero is a 7-year-old boy attending his third-grade class in suburban Massachusetts. It's 1965, and Harold's teacher is reminding him to remember his upcoming assignments. But he's the kind of kid who isn't going to get boxed in by assignments, or reminding, or remembering. May 9, 2023
