An Ordinary School Day - Tapa blanda

A fun and reusable sticker book

There's nothing ordinary about Maya's day at school, except what happens to disrupt an otherwise normal day. Only the imagination of a young reader can complete this enormously amusing story that makes school seem really silly.

Like its successful predecessor, The Mess, this creative sticker-storybook encourages children to create the most engaging story possible. By using a series of word stickers, readers fill in the blanks and create hilarious results.

What does Maya pull out of her backpack? A pillow? A zucchini? How about a mermaid? What did Mr. Malek slip on in the library? Baloney? A wallaby? Perhaps it was a tamale?

An Ordinary School Day gives kids the opportunity to salt the story and exercise their comedic muscle. The 66 reusable stickers (including 11 blanks) offer endless story possibilities, and can be stored until next time on the blank pages provided. Accordingly, each reading is unlike any other, and only the reader can determine what will make today anything but an ordinary school day.
