Customer Reviews

Funniest children's book other than Roald Dahl

One of my teachers read this to our class in 5th grade and we thought it was the funniest thing ever. Re-reading it as a grad student, it's just as hilarious and is a great reminder of how clean humor can still work. Of course the plot is completely unrealistic, but it doesn't matter as this is a COMEDIC novel.
