Kids will love the book. Make it clear you're not endorsing the behavior. It will make them laugh - because really a lot of us can identify with our scientific and sensual fascination of glue (of all kinds), glue guns, goggly eyes, and tape. The big comic pictures are colorful and funny. OK for preK-kinder. My opinion.Yep. Many to most kids love glue. Many like to make pools of it, play with it, get it all over the furniture, and themselves. It costs extra money to do this, and extra time (lots) for the teachers and janitors to clean up. If kids are lucky enough to have the funds for art materials, and and/or an art teacher and the time to do art - the 1 or 2 kids playing around distracts and annoys the other kids who want to do art. Of course there are the silent kids (5 yo and younger) that are simply learning and discovering the properties of glue and learning how to use it. Some older kids see this is a ripe opportunity to grab the class's attention and not do the work. So yes, the fascination with glue, tape, goggly eyes is real and endearing to many kids. And sure, the parents do often share and support this fascination but usually don't provide the funds for the waste or tolerate the cleanup required at home. Lastly, what works at home with one to a few kids, supervised, does not always translate to a class where they are expected to be more self-directed and supervision is more difficult with of 21 or more students. This book called to me from the shelf at the Barnes & Noble I am the story lady for. It is one I love to read out loud. The parents love it the kids get into all of the great mess. I really like the message that anything that your child makes, even if it looks like a mess to the teacher, can be a masterpiece to your family. I liked this book so much I bought it for my grandchildren ( when I have them)
