Customer Reviews

Quick... bring home this book!

This book is such a hoot! The photos are hilarious and the text equally clever. Its large size makes it perfect for reading and showing to a group, but I got it just for our own use at home. Though it is described as being for ages 4-8, my son at age 10 is enjoying it. The humor is just right for pre-teens and just enough information is given to penetrate the fog and stay in a child's busy mind. I see from another review that this book is part of a series. After reading this one, I'll be certain to look into the rest of the books.

Great for read-alouds

This whole series is great. I read it to a classroom of 20+ kids for snacks and stories and they wanted me to keep reading, and reading. Left the whole series there for the kids to enjoy. One of my kids favorite books to read. Worth every penny.
