    About 17 Things I’m Not Allowed to Do Anymore

    A laugh-out-loud look at all the fun things grown-ups never let you do . . . now in paperback! Jenny Offill, author of 11 Experiments That Failed, describes how tough it is to be a kid, when even the (seemingly) best ideas are met with resistance. The text is short, spare, and fall-on-the-floor funny—not to mention utterly child-friendly. Here, accompanied by Nancy Carpenter’s hilariously clever illustrations, is a day-in-the-life look at a kid as she torments her brother, her pet, her classmates, and, of course, her mother. The theme of this Dragonfly Book is Just for Fun.

    About 17 Things I’m Not Allowed to Do Anymore

    This Parenting Magazine Best Book of the Year and Bank Street College of Education Best Children’s Book of the Year features a kid full of fun ideas. For example, in the morning, gluing her brother’s bunny slippers to the floor sounds like a good plan. But now she’s not allowed to use glue anymore. And what about when she shows Joey Whipple her underpants—they’re only underpants, right? Turns out she’s not allowed to do that again, either. And isn’t broccoli the perfect gift for any brother? It’s just too bad her parents don’t think so. But she has the last laugh in this humerous picture book about not-so-great behavior. And don’t miss the companion book to 17 Things I’m Not Allowed to Do Anymore: 11 Experiments that Failed, a zany exploration of the scientific method by everyone’s favorite troublemaking protagonist.
