About book Never Glue Your Friends To Chairs (2008)

This gets four stars for being a good book for young boys who are reluctant readers.It gets two stars because it is of rather low quality. Not much happens other than some kids get glued to chairs. He glues them to their chairs because they keep getting up and he wants to help the teacher. He does not do it as a mean practical joke. Also, this book is a little too short. It is 100 pages, but there is a lot of white space.That averages to three stars. Roscoe is supposed to bring craft supplies for his class. In doing so, he manages to get a hold of his mother's super strong glue, the "Don't You Dare Glue". And bringing this to school leads to chaos and bad choices. This is a very cute early chapter book. Parents will love the author's sense of humour. There are illustrations every few pages to also keep the young reader's interest and to help with comprehension. But parents and teachers may hesitate to expose the young people in their lives to this work. Roscoe is a scamp, there is no other word for him. He routinely makes choices that are ill-thought through, but make for hilarious outcomes. Choices that these same children could mimic. You have been warned.
