4 yr old Daughter's favorite book

This colorful book is my daughter's favorite. There is a little take-off on the classic "Little Red Riding Hood" that gave the book familiarity. She requested it so much that she can recite it. The story is fun, silly, adventurous, and very reassuring. "I think everything is going to be all right. - And it was."

Best Silly Reading for Toddlers Ever!

Excellent reading for the very young, this book focuses on fears and dreams in a pleasant and hilarious way. Mr. Sillypants muses aloud for the reader his fears and expectations for his presence in an upcoming swimming class. Join him as he eats a Dagwood- style midnight snack sandwich, then dozes off for a dream adventure that incorporates his emotions and recent food experience that takes unexpected turns, then ultimately allows Sillypants to emerge victorious and ready to face his lesson! The illustrations are fabulous and reminiscent of the quirky yet hilarious Aunt Mary cartoon strip from National Lampoon Magazine. Share your love of humor and reading as you join your child on this Sillypants adventure!
