Customer Reviews

Highly Recommend!!!

We loved this book! It is very entertaining & kept my son, Mason laughing all the way through.

Kyle's Review of Deputy Dan and the Bank Robbers

Deputy Dan was an interesting character because he was funny. He always does just what he is told. When he is told to answer the door he says, "Hello door!" instead of opening it. This was my favorite part too. I would recommend this book because if you like funny stories, you will like the story about Deputy Dan.

Deputy Dan's Review of Deputy Dan and the Bank Robbers

Hi This is a great book, I was a School Resource Officer for 3 years and the kids love to hear stories of my chosen career , so, i tell them it is similar to the book because we have to do what the Sheriff says and it is a lesson in following instructions even in school as a student.

Deputy Dan and The Bank Robbers

We love this book! The story is very simple to follow and is very funny. Deputy Dan is comparible to Amelia Bedelia books. The sheriff will give deputy Dan an order and deputy Dan follows it to the letter. Like when he tells him to pick up his horse and go after the bank robbers. Deputy Dan knows he can not pick up his horse, it is too heavy, but he always follows orders so he gets a crane to pick up his horse. We read this story aloud to the kids and we all giggle at the antics of deputy Dan. I highly recommend this book to all families. It is a joy.

Excellent book for primary school students, 1st-3rd

This is an excellent book for primary school children. The character Deputy Dan is similiar to Amelia Bedelia in the Amelia Bedelia series by Peggy Parrish. Deputy Dan is a funny character which teaches children the double meaning of words in the English language. For example, after someone has knocked on the door, the sheriff tells Deputy Dan to answer the door. Deputy Dan goes to the door and says, "Hello, door!" I hope you enjoy Deputy Dan's silliness as much as my second grade class.
