So is the case for Ruben Figgs. It's raining and he's bored, so what does his grandma do? Give Ruben and his little piglet brother Julius each a piece of gum. Mom is not too thrilled and the rules of gum chewing are reiterated, but alas, throughout the book, Ruben ends up breaking every rule.
Cute, fun story that will produce lots of giggles (and a need to run to the store to pick up some gum). Great to share one on one, though the images are too small for a storytime group. Speaking of the illustrations - they are driving me crazy! The style reminds me of someone, but I can't place who: Roald Dahl perhaps? Or William Steig? I like them, don't get me wrong, it is simply that every time I look at the book I think "I should know these images. I've seen them before. Where are they from?"
