Customer Reviews

Mmmm Mmmmm Good!

This is a really clever story with great illustrations. I've read it to my children many, many times. It's a very entertaining book that I enjoy as well.

Love it!!

We originally checked this book out at the library-but it was such a big hit we had to buy one of our own! That was a couple of years ago. Even though our now 7 yr. old son reads Magic Tree House and Junie B. Jones, he continues to come back to Alvie on a normal basis. He loves changing his voice for each of the characters-having the text in comic bubbles made it easy for him to see who says what. The pictures are alot of fun. We even had a Mulligatawny night using the recipe in the book!

Entertaining for parents as well as children

My 3 and a half year old daughter just got into this book and LOVES it. The illustrations are so well-done and interesting, with extra things going on in the pictures that you can point out, that it is a pleasure to read (again and again) even for an adult. The story is simple and funny, but you don't feel like you're being dumbed-down-to. And it's great for doing the different characters in different voices, if you're into that.
