From the publisher

Mr. Pine made signs. He made signs that said STOP.

But he could not find his glasses. He put the signs up anyway.The signs were all MIXED-UP! Little Town was all mixed-up! Where were Mr. Pine’s glasses? Who had his glasses? How did our beloved, intrepid sign painter solve the problem of all those mixed-up signs?#185 of 240 Reasons to Celebrate America! Time Magazine, July 11, 2016
