Rules. You can't live with them and you can't live without them. Maybe you could, but as any adult will tell you, you really don't have a choice. Worse yet, these annoying rules are EVERYWHERE, including our schools, churches and especially our homes. There is no escape. So if you hate rules, and you like to laugh, you'll love this book. The Rules is a delightfully funny K-3 level book that takes a clever and snarky look at the many rules kids are taught. Great read-along book for kids and parents, by authors and parents Darryl and Mary Rose Green, illustrated by Valerie Bouthyette.
