Her mom, dad, brother, and sister try to help, but they all get stuck to her. The whole family ends up laughing, and for once Annie has all the attention she wants!   Hilarious color drawings by bestselling illustrator Steve Björkman bring Annie’s loving family to life.

One is that her father, mother, brother, and sister are too busy to pay attention to her. They’re always glued to their computers, handheld devices, and video games.

When Annie sets about making a peanut-butter and honey sandwich—well, you can probably figure out what happens.
