Rick has a map to draw for school. He has a week to do it, but he always has something else he has to do.
Whether it's drawing monsters, shooting baskets for his team, or doing other homework, Rick keeps deciding that he'll do the map later. What will he do when there is no more "later"? Children learning to read will enjoy reading about Rick's problem and perhaps learn a gentle lesson from the fix he gets into--and from the determination with which he makes his way out of it. Photographs of real people illustrate the action, and a guide in the back provides phonics help for parents.
