"In his first work of nonfiction, Adam Rex bravely shares his harrowing experience of gum-chewing gone horribly wrong. What? On Account of the Gum is not a true story? Oh. Well, then it's just plain hilarious and any human will love it!" -Laurie Keller, Geisel Award winning author-illustrator of We Are Growing -- -, "In Adam Rex's divine picture-book comedy of errors . . . Rex ( School's First Day of School; Nothing Rhymes with Orange; Unstoppable ), a master of meshuggaas, hastens along the humor with caricaturish illustrations in a fruity palette perfectly suited to the asimmer-with-irritation kid's hair wear, which comes to resemble a Carmen Miranda hat gone berserk. But underneath the silliness, On Account of the Gum harbors a substantive, empowering message. To borrow the book's idiom: There's a point to all of this rat-a-tat rhyme/ It turns out the kid had the cure the whole time."-- Shelf Awareness, "In his first work of nonfiction, Adam Rex bravely shares his harrowing experience of gum-chewing gone horribly wrong.

Gum-wrapper endpaper illustrations collaged under a bubble gum-pink wash set the tone for escalating silliness . . . [On Account of the Gum is a] gloriously giggly tale glued together by a glob of very gooey gum."- Kirkus Reviews , starred review, "Snappy second-person verse enumerates a family's vain efforts to remove a blob of shocking pink bubblegum as Rex ( Unstoppable ) dreams up ever-grosser remedies for the hairy dilemma."-- Publisher's Weekly, "Adam Rex is one of the best writers making picture books today, and one of the best illustrators making picture books today, and On Account of the Gum just might be his best picture book yet.

The hand-painted text has beautiful artistry to it, but it's also a tongue-tangling, deliciously metered, rhyming absurdist story that begs to be read aloud in classrooms, libraries, and homes. . . .

The deadpan narrative voice in this book and the building chaos with each attempt to remove gum from the main character's hair will keep kids chuckling and asking for more. It is reminiscent of the old nursery rhyme, There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly , except no one gets eaten . . . and it's about gum . . . and the only old lady in it winds up stuck in the main character's hair. So maybe it isn't much like the old nursery rhyme at all. Don't chew it over. Just buy the book." --Ryan T.
