If Rube's inventions are any indication, "normal" means something very
different in the Goldberg household. For Rube, up is down, in is out,
and the simplest path to accomplishing an everyday task--like brushing
his teeth or getting dressed--is a humorously complicated one. Follow
Rube as he sets out on a typical school day, overcomplicating each and
every step from the time he wakes up in the morning until the time he
goes to bed at night.
This book features fourteen inventions, each depicting an interactive
sequence whose purpose is to help Rube accomplish mundane daily tasks: a
simple way to get ready for school, to make breakfast, to do his
homework, and so much more.
