Customer Reviews

One of my favorites!

I am ten years old. I love this book a lot because it is silly and made me laugh. Aldo Applesauce is not hard to read and is perfect for my age because there are no big words. This book was very cute and lovely! I read it in two days because it’s that enjoyable! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

great book for all

This is such a wonderful series about a boy who moves from New York to a small town. He is vegetarian and other kids tease him but he ends up making a special friend, a girl with a big immagination. My son is a vegetarian and so am I. I think this book is great for kids on both sides, whether they are a vegetarian or not, to learn to respect peoples choices. If your child is the odd one in class for any reason this is a good book to get them. And it is especially wonderful if you are rasing a vegetarian child to show vegitarian children they are not alone even if sometimes they feel like it. It deals with issues like teasing and standing up for what you believe in all wrapped into a childrens book from a wonderful, famous author.

Aldo, you're my hero!

i have loved this book since i first read it 15 years ago! i could relate to Aldo, being a military brat, and his quest for new friends in a new "world"...i had that book memorized! it was my absolute favorite..and Dede was the greatest sidekick ever! if you are looking for a great book for a kid, this is the one to get! and i think adults would love it too...i know i would love to read it again!

This is an exciting book - and I mean exciting!

Hi! I am a kid in third grade. I live in the U.S.A. I give this book five stars because it is very exciting and I mean exciting! I recommend this book for a 7-8 year old. For grown ups, it's probably boring for them. Maybe they will think it's childish. The main character is Aldo. Another character is Dede. She is cool and funny. The mean guy is the one who calls him names like applesauce, baby, and big fat baby. So hopefully you people can read this story. Aldo is 8 years old. Aldo has brown hair and so does Dede. On the cover there is 7 people and one guy throwing an egg to a different boy. To the people who have not read this book, can you please give it a try? It's really good.
