This is the cutest, sweetest, silliest book! Love the ending... really made me smile. The art is gorgeous. Caldecott contender??

At first I thought this was a book for parents as I couldn't see that a child would necessarily relate to why they shouldn't be touching things, but there is a twist at the end. I liked the drawings - but boundaries!

When a young girl goes into her dad’s office that’s supposed to be off-limits, she only plans on taking a small piece of tape, but things soon go awry and before long, she’s playing with allllllllll the office supplies.
A delightful book that will make you smile the entire time, particularly the surprise ending.

One of my favorite things in picturebooks, Yoon's work in particular, is the use of the art to tell significant parts of the story and even to work with the text in an ironic way. The language is simple, spare, and constantly comedically undercut by the ever-expanding, creatively-rendered transformation of the Office space. A deeply charming read and if it takes you back to the fever dream of quarantine...well, brace yourself as you need to, but it's a way of remembering the loveliest parts of that time, I promise.
