Enchanting and relative to elementary-school children

I read this story to my 9-year-old son and not only was he transfixed by the engaging illustrations, he could also relate to the protagonist of the story--a boy about his age struggling to do his math homework when he'd rather be doing anything but. My son laughed at the boy's tirade and subsequent fantasy, and we were both relieved by the story's happy ending.
