Have you ever heard of a closed kitchen? My tired mom has been dreaming for a very long time of a quiet, neat kitchen with a big handwritten sign: “Kitchen Closed! The chick’s had it!” or just a plain sign saying:” Sorry, Kitchen Closed.” But my family of seven is not rushing to eat at the restaurant 7-Eleven. We always find our own way to sneak to the kitchen night and day, and throw the closed kitchen sign completely out of the way. (Hah Hah, Mom . . . we’re smarter than what you think) This book is dedicated to all the parents in the world who dream of closing the kitchen, the central room in the house, at least for just a little while. Every time when it looks just like about to finally really happen – the kitchen is ready to be closed, somebody, almost out of nowhere, shows up last minute at the kitchen, ignores the closed kitchen sign, takes something to eat and leaves a mess behind. Can the kitchen ever be closed??? Or should it be a 24/7 kitchen? Parents and children are sure to recognize themselves in this fun-to-read story and laugh.
