Customer Reviews

My 6-year-old loves this book

I gave this book to my 6-year-old on the second leg of a loooong plane trip. It kept her absorbed for almost an hour. She isn't reading yet, so it was a relief to give her something she could look at independently (especially as she was seated across the aisle). Since that trip, the book gets moved from the car to the church bag, and it continues to hold her interest several months later. Have to admit I haven't really looked at it myself, but after seeing some of the other reviews I'll have to give it a try!

endless fun

As a second grade teacher, I see a few books read to tatters year after year. This book is among the absolute favorites in my classroom. Although it has no words, it has thousands of stories unfolding over the pages, getting more silly in each scene. I find this book wonderful for reluctant readers, as they feel successful and start seeing books as cool and fun. I'm going to need more copies to keep up with demand. An original and entertaining book.

CAPTIVATING

I found this book in the Children's section and bought it for myself. This is the most incredible book I have found and I have 'read' it over and over. The story depics odd goings on at a large mansion. The children who visit my house have been captured by the colorful detailed pictures and neighbor children occasionally stop by and ask to see the book. The oversized book has pictures spanning two pages each with so much detail that I find something new every time I open it. Each picture has dozens of stories unfolding and you find yourself flipping forwards and backwards to see what will happen and to find what happened earlier to cause what you see on the page you are reading. I have found no other picture book in this. It makes children think and ask 'what made that happen' as they read it.

Wonderful!

I loved this book-- it's so detailed and the way the plot lines interact is fascinating. I've "read" it a dozen times, and found something new each time.

Family entertainment at its' best!

A gift purchased for a small girl and yet provided all in my home with laughter and excitement on every page.A wonderment that a book could capture attention in people ages 3 to 85. My own children were dissapointed when the gift was finally given. We will now have to buy our own copy!
