Description
Rube decides to take the day off! Follow his day and his inventions as he fakes being sick, pretends to take medicine, plays fetch, reads a book hands-free, fakes a nap, avoids his neighbors, picks a donut, swings on the swingset, feeds the animals, retrieves a lost bus pass, eats snacks at the movies, gets his homework assignments, quickly gets home, sneaks back in the house, and pretends to have been home all day. Each invention shows a step-by-step process from start to finish. Whew! I’m exhausted and so is he. Hardcover, 40 pages.
Publisher's Description of Rube Goldberg's Simple Normal Definitely Different Day Off
Follow along with young inventor Rube Goldberg on his day off from school in this wacky, STEAM-focused picture book. A “definitely different” follow-up to Rube Goldberg’s Simple Normal Humdrum School Day, written by Jennifer George, the granddaughter of Rube Goldberg, and illustrated by award-winning artist Ed Steckley. In their latest collaboration, they imagine Rube Goldberg as a young inventor who builds complex machines to solve simple, everyday problems. Follow along as he invents zany chain-reaction contraptions to have the best day off from school ever—including a simple way to play fetch in the yard without leaving his bedroom, a self-operating swing, and a super simple series of movie snacking machines.
