Customer Reviews

Best Easy Reader Ever!

My 9 year old is learning disabled. He has the conceptual ability to follow Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but his reading ability isn't even up to The Cat in the Hat. So far, A New Brain for Igor is the only book he's ever read independently without prompting! It's the only book I've ever found that's at both his reading level and his thinking level! Write more!!!

Cute and Fun

My boys ages 4 and 6 & 1/2 LOVE this book. The words are simple, fun to read, and build confidence. From a parent's perspective, I don't mind reading this book over and over again. I enjoy it that much! The illustrations depicting bats, funny-looking spiders, and the famous, pretty in pink, Master's fuzzy pink slippers, add the perfect touch to Igor's not-so-good-looking features. From an author to author point of view, I'm truly blown away that the author who wrote this is so young! What a great inspiration! Great job!Leticia Araujo Perez, author of Making Your Record: Courtroom Guidebook for Attorneys and Law Students,

Boys love it!

This is a wonderful book. Igor is a very lovable character and the illustrations are cute. My Kindergartener took the book to bed with him at night!

Silly Fun for Beginning Readers

First of all: Teddy O'Connor is my son so, of course, I may be a tiny bit prejudiced. BUT: This is a very funny book! It started out as a fifth grade writing assignment that sat in his drawer for a few years before he re-wrote it. It's a take-off on the Frankenstine legend, up-dated with Hawaiian shirts, pet guinea pigs and furry slippers. Bill Basso's drawings are full of color and life. Your beginning reader will get a real kick out of this book.
