Well, well, well . . . you're not well?

Maybe you have a test at school. Maybe there’s a lot of snow outside. Maybe you don’t want to face some certain classmate. Or maybe you’re actually sick. Who knows—it’s happened before. 

Or maybe you just wanted to get your sweaty hands on this book.

No matter how you’re feeling, you should feel pretty good about picking up this superior book. It’s not only packed like an ice pack with perplexing puzzles, it’s hazy with mazes, dripping with drawings, ill with illustrations, lurching with lists, quarantined with quizzes, and otherwise radioactive with activities. It’s feverish with fun! And be warned: if you learn a few things, don’t worry, since you won’t remember once you’re feeling better. 

It doesn’t matter why you’ve got this totally sick book on your bed. If you’re oozing any sticky, gooey, gross stuff, keep it on the cover. It’s wipe-able!
