For every child who has ever felt that grown-ups have all the fun,
here is a vicarious chance to slip behind the office door--and play with
all the tempting things that are off-limits.
Dad's office is off-limits--which only makes it more intriguing to his
curious young daughter. As soon as she sees an opening, she sneaks in to
have a look around. After all, there's no harm in just looking, right?
What she discovers is a magical wonderland of sticky tape, paper clips
that make glorious strands, and a kaleidoscopic array of sticky notes.
Who could possibly resist playing with those? In a joyful ode to office
supplies, Helen Yoon leads a celebration of just-for-once breaking the
rules--and offers a final, funny nod to adults who harbor a similar
urge.
