On Account of the Gum

How do you get gum out of your hair – a pair of scissors? Butter? The cat? Call your aunt – she’ll know what to do. She doesn’t? Try the fire department! In this book, the best intentions lead to some of the worst (and funniest) ideas! With each page turn, this situation – relatable to any family – grows stickier and more desperate. From the madcap mind of Adam Rex comes a book about one protagonist’s hilarious misadventures and the improbable, downright bizarre remedies for a problem kids have faced since the creation of gum. Serious humour abounds in this cumulative build-up of stuff stuck in hair, and the text’s unexpected turns, fun rhyme, and wacky suggestions make it prime for constant giggles and repeat reading.
