After all, he and his dad make oodles of glue projects at home. One day during art class, Matty finds the fullest bottles of glue, and the fun begins. With a squeeze and a plop, Matty pours a lake of glue before belly-flopping right in the middle and finds himself stuck to the desk.

With vibrant language and artwork and a wild, silly plot, Too Much Glue is sure to appeal to all children who love to get messy.

I have taught elementary art for 5 years. This one book effectively communicated in 5 minutes what I have been saying verbally for this whole time. Because the message came in such a fun and colorful format, I know have my first ever kindergarten class that self-monitors when they use glue. I hear students chirp, "Too much glue!", whenever their neighbors get too crazy with the glue.
This is a must have book for kids; especially those who might have experimented with glue creations or crafts. It is a really fun read whereby the illustrations really keep you riveted to the story of a boy and 'too much glue.' I can't wait for the next book from this author and/or illustrator. Well worth purchasing, you won't be disappointed.
Who hasn't loved to make a mess or play with glue at some point during their childhood? This book celebrates the joy of youth and creativity. Kids are supposed to have a sense of wonder and that what this story has in spades. In a time where videogames and cellphones dominate our culture it nice to see how much fun you can get out of something as simple as glue and your imagination. Great job Jason and Zac on your first (of many) books.
Cute story for kids to read at home, and I'm sure kids would love it, but I was hoping to use this in the classroom. After reading it, I'm too afraid to try it out. Book shows the kid not following the rules, which results in him accidentally creating a glue suit, which his parents then proudly hang on the refrigerator... not really the message I want to send for a lesson on appropriate glue usage.... I can just picture my kids trying for their own glue suits :/
I bought this book for my artsy, glue loving 4 year old. She got five new books and this is by far the favorite. Surprisingly, it is also my 1 1/2 year olds favorite book right now! It is a cute story without the snark and negative language I saw in some of the other books. Although the main character does not follow his art teachers instructions so if that is a deal breaker for you, be warned... Our first don't try this at home book, it has inspired some creative tape sculptures in my house (though fortunately nothing too over the top with glue). I really like that the father is the central parenting figure since we have found so few books emphasizing the bond with dad. I also think it is so cute to hear my kids telling each other they are “a MASTERPIECE!!!!”
This book is AWESOME! I use this book in my kindergarten classroom heavily at the beginning of the year and we refer to it during the year if we have any glue oopsies! We use this story in conjunction with a song/phrase that we sing in class and glue practice with glue bottles. If you teach preschool or kindergarten or home school, this is a great book for you!
A silly, sweet and fun story about a boy whose creative streak is strong, his parents who encourage him, the teacher who doesn't quite understand, and his classmates who help him. The illustrations are delightful and provide much of the story.
Beautiful illustrations. This book has a real fun ending. My students love this book. Book was recommended for 3 and up, however my 5th grade students have begged to have me read this to them.
