From author Jennifer George and Reuben Award-winning illustrator Ed Steckley, Rube Goldbergβs Simple Normal Humdrum School Day is a picture book adventure following a day in the life of the famed inventor.
If Rubeβs inventions are any indication, βnormalβ means something very different in the Goldberg household. For Rube, up is down, in is out, and the simplest path to accomplishing an everyday taskβlike brushing his teeth or getting dressedβis a humorously complicated one. Follow Rube as he sets out on a typical school day, overcomplicating each and every step from the time he wakes up in the morning until the time he goes to bed at night.
This book features 14 inventions, each depicting an interactive sequence whose purpose is to help Rube accomplish mundane daily tasks: a simple way to get ready for school, to make breakfast, to do his homework, and so much more.
