Customer Reviews

wonderful use of words!!!

We love this book!!! The descriptions of sounds make it all real and the kids love the silliness of Bumpa. For them it's a great adventure that never gets old and always makes them laugh

A "Bangity Boom" of a Book

This is one of the best children's books that we have found. Our son (age 2)simply can't get enough of it. We are currently averaging 4-5 readings per day and the wonderful thing is that it hasn't gotten stale yet for us either! The rhythm of the prose is excellent and the word choices inventive. The illustrations are vivid and interesting.
