Customer Reviews

Adult reader

I use this book to practice Spanish. It's a cute little story that takes young readers through a learning curve on words and tenses.

A really great book!

I'm a big fan of everything veggietales and Larryboy. Even though I'm 11 years old, I really enjoyed this book. It tells a great lesson in being content with the things you have. If you like the Larryboy or Veggietales shows, you're sure to love this. The Emperor of Envy makes a formula and puts it into the slushies before the slushie-eating contest starts. When the veggies eat the slushies they become weak because they get so envious. This book is so funny, it will keep you laughing the whole time you read it. So, if you have doubts about buying this book, don't worry. It's a great book with a powerful lesson.

More Larryboy!!!!!!

I love the Larryboy books! They're so funny, and this one is no exepction. The Emporor of Envy has been tainting Slushees so that everyone becomes to weak to fight him and his "army" of two sweet potatos (one of which keeps talking to the reader!) Larryboy is still funny, and the other characters are true to form. This really entertained me. Go and read it! Then go read the others!

Coo-Coo! Time to Go Get Another Funny Book!

Even five stars isn't enough for this book! Besides, Larryboy's archenemy is Emperor Napoleon of Crime and Other Bad Stuff! (#1)

This book captivated my 6 year old

I gave this book to my first grade son on a recent trip. He sat engrossed for the entire 5 hour flight - this is the first book he has read cover to cover.
