Too Much Glue is an award-winning picture book bursting with humor, heart, and gloriously silly fun.
Although Matty's art teacher has warned him that too much glue never dries, Matty loves glue. After all, he and his dad make oodles of glue projects at home. One day during art class, Matty finds the fullest bottles and the fun begins. With a squeeze and a plop, he pours a lake of glue before belly-flopping right in the middle, finding himself stuck to the desk.
When Matty's dad arrives at school, instead of being mad, he celebrates his son's creativity and calls him a work of art. With vibrant language, wild artwork, and a gloriously silly plot, Too Much Glue is sure to appeal to all children and spark great conversations about listening, creativity, and knowing when enough is enough.
Perfect for parks, school grounds, and library trails, this Storybook Walk Edition includes read-along audio, so children can hear the story brought to life at every stop. Each spread also features a playful activity prompt to get kids moving, laughing, and connecting with Matty's creative (if messy) spirit.
