What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

The New York Times bestselling author of The Bad Seed and The Good Egg takes a lighthearted approach to how to respond to the all-too-common claim It’s not my fault! Emotional literacy is embedded in this funny cautionary tale: Why is your homework so messy?It’s not my fault! I blame my pen.Why can’t I read these test answers?I blame my pen.Why is your assignment so late?Um…I blame my pen? A boy steadfastly refuses to take responsibility for any of his mistakes. He just blames everything on his pen, his backpack, his comb, his pillow–whatever happens to be at hand. For a while, this approach works at home and at school. He’s positively convinced he has it all figured out until…all the inanimate objects rise up and revolt. What can he do when a talking pen and talking backpack decide to rebel? The #1 New York Times bestselling picture-book author Jory John encourages kids to accept responsibility while keeping the laughs coming in this fun-filled tale.
