<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A laugh-out-loud look at all the fun things grown-ups never let you do . . . now in paperback! Jenny Offill, author of <i>11 Experiments That Failed, </i> describes how tough it is to be a kid, when even the (seemingly) best ideas are met with resistance. The text is short, spare, and fall-on-the-floor funny--not to mention utterly child-friendly. Here, accompanied by Nancy Carpenter's hilariously clever illustrations, is a day-in-the-life look at a kid as she torments her brother, her pet, her classmates, and, of course, her mother. The theme of this Dragonfly Book is Just for Fun.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><i>School Library Journal </i>starred review</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>JENNY OFFILL is the author of <i>17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore, </i> a <i>Parenting</i> Magazine Best Book of the Year and a Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year, and <i>11 Experiments That Failed, </i> also a Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year, which <i>Kirkus Reviews, </i> in a starred review, called "the most joyful and clever whimsy." <p/>NANCY CARPENTER is the illustrator of <i>Imogene's Last Stand</i> by Candace Fleming; <i>Apples to Oregon, </i> an ALA-ALSC Notable Children's Book, and <i>Fannie in the Kitchen, </i> both by Deborah Hopkinson; <i>Sitti's Secrets</i> by Naomi Shihab Nye, winner of the Jane Addams Picture Book Award; <i>Masai and I</i> by Virginia Kroll; <i>Loud Emily</i> by Alexis O'Neill; and the jackets for the Emestine & Amanda series.
