These days, being a kid means following rules. Lots of rules. Want a piece of cake? You've got to eat your peas first. Getting dressed? Make sure you've got clean underwear on. It's getting so you can't even stick a peanut up your nose without getting in trouble. Where's the payoff? it's right here. Because Marty Kelley, the bestselling author of Fall Is Not Easy and has helpfully written all these rules down in this book--and he's even made 'em rhyme. The Rules is like an etiquette manual for the 21st century. It's filled with admonitions that every kid will recognize, and pictures that are so silly, they might even forget about all those rules--at least for a little while.
