Too Much Glue  from the publisher Flashlight Press:

Matty LOVES glue. At home with Dad he makes glue glasses, glue mustaches, and glue bouncy balls. But at school, Matty’s art teacher worries and warns, “Too much glue never dries.” In art class one day, Matty decides to make the most fantastic glue project ever, with a super-special ingredient - himself! Ignoring his teacher’s warnings, Matty belly-flops onto the glue-covered table, rolls around in the sequins and glitter, and encounters an unexpected glitch - when he tries to get up, he boings right back into the slippery, sticky mess!  This calls for a dose of imagination and a little help from friends. But each wacky attempt only makes things worse! Finally Matty gets an idea from his hyperventilating teacher. Will it work, or will Matty be a half-boy, half-art project stuck- to-a-table forever?
