"Hello! I'm just looking.
There's nothing wrong
with just looking ...
and I don't think anyone
would miss one piece of tape.
Just one little teeny - tiny piece."
As Dad leaves his home office, he tapes an important message to the door: OFF-LIMITS! Peeking around the corner, an inquisitive little one takes careful note before opening that office door and peeking inside. Given the apparent age, one might make the case for her not understanding the words posted. Or does she?
Of course, she is intrigued by the many visible stationery supplies. Her plan is to LOOK - only look! But. the tape dispenser has real appeal. One piece turns into many, then four extra rolls. The tape decorates her arm, a lamp, the stapler, her face ...
The decor surely needs something else. What about paper clips, and rubber bands, and binder clips? Covered in paper clips, she then cannot resist the colorful, never-ending post-it notes. Patterns soon fill the entire double-page spread. The office is a decorator's delight! Suddenly realising that she might be in a great deal of trouble, she sneaks back to her own room. The tension clearly dissipates in the final two spreads! What's this? What has Dad been doing while she was messing about in his office? You won't believe it!
Mixed media artwork adds to the fun, and the joy the little one feels while creating. Filled with movement and color, it is a wonder to behold despite the touch of trepidation that comes with the transformation of the office.
