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.
