Customer Reviews

Wonderful wordplay!

I checked this book out of the public library as an elementary school kid nearly 30 years ago. I came searching for it because I recently used the word "glopslopcious" (which I may be spelling wrong) with my children, and so got to telling them about this wonderful book. Any book a person can remember specifically and fondly 3 decades after reading it has got to be a great book.

Hilarious

I had checked out this book in the library and I saw the cover. It looked like a very little Santa Cluas in a tree on the telephone. It was a book that would probably intrest me because it was pure nonsense. The book was the best book I have ever read. It makes you laugh on almost every page. The tricks and the poems are great. This book is definetly a book for all ages.
