How do you get gum out of your hair? From the madcap mind of
award-winning children's author Adam Rex comes a book about how the best
intentions lead to the worst (and funniest) ideas!
So, you got bubblegum in your hair--and before you know it, a pair of
scissors, some butter, your rabbit, and the cat are also stuck up there.
And to make matters worse, it's picture day!
With each turn of the page in On Account of the Gum, the situation
gets stickier, sillier, and more desperate. Kids will love this
all-too-familiar story, told in verse and propelled by charming
illustrations, about one family's best efforts to get the gum un-stuck .
. . by any means necessary.
"Adam Rex is one of the best writers making picture books today, and . .
. On Account of the Gum just might be his best picture book yet."
