Customer Reviews

WooHoo! Let's ALL Go to Kalamazoo

What are you doing ten years from today? Well, we are all going to a party, where we'll meet amazing people (and animals), and anything can happen ... as long as it's fun. Colorful illustrations and a collection of favorite activities make this road trip a first-class party. This was fun to read ... even a couple times in a row. It will remind you of reading a Dr. Seuss book, but it is unique, too. We like how it blends in fun, creative activities with real places that are also great (family) destinations.

Kid from Kalamazoo

I just moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan. My friends from back home in pittsburgh sent me this book for my birthdya as a joke, but I love it! Now, I really can relate to going to a party in kalamazoo, but the book is much wackier than real life! :)

Kalamazoo

I went to a party in Kalamazoo is a great book for children. The illustrations are wonderful! It is as plesant to read as it is to look at. It is a must have if you have ever lived in kalamazoo!

Wonderful new book for children

Full of playful language, candy-like illustrations, and a zest for life, this fun loving and funny book promotes language skills while encouraging imagination and participation. It is the kind of book that entertains and teaches at the same time (which is, of course, the best kind). It is the kind of book that I, as an adult, enjoy reading to children again and again. It is the kind of book that simply makes me feel wonderful -- a great gift for anyone under 8 years of age, and for the people who love them.

brilliant!

This is the perfect children's book! I can't say enough good things about it. From it's Dr. Suess-like rhymes to it beautifully illustrated pages, it is sure to be a children's classic!
