On Account of the Gum

And you think the old lady who swallowed a fly had problems! What starts with a little gum stuck in your hair soon grows until there are scissors, a vacuum, and a rabbit (and much more) up there. Adam Rex handles both the expert rhymes—"Your grandpa, who said that your aunt was mistaken, is mostly to blame for the noodles and bacon"—and the delightfully disastrous illustrations, in which the funniest elements are the wide, fed-up eyes of the poor kid whose sloppy gum chewing set this whole snowball rolling. (Ages 1 to 5)
