A picture book reminding us that everyone is human and makes mistakes . . . even grown-ups: "Hilarious." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)


Whether it's forgetting to do chores, running late, or burping, no adult would ever behave so poorly—at least, that's what you might think. By the end of this outrageous, laugh-out-loud picture book, you'll know better . . .


From the duo behind Junior Library Guild selection I Didn't Do My Homework Because and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to School, this relatable and rollicking tale will have kids (and the adults who read with them) in stitches—and remind them that it's okay not to be perfect all the time . . . and that manners exist for a reason.


"Illustrated with irony-laden wit . . . Delightfully droll text." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"A fun, simple, and goofy read for both adults and kids." — School Library Journal


"Comically elegant, jewel-toned vignettes by Chaud, which detail an entire page of adult klutzes, a cheating chess player, and an amusing four-panel sequence of a father staring at his phone from breakfast to bedtime, hit the mark every time." — Publishers Weekly
