Customer Reviews

After 17 years I still have this book memorized.

17 years ago this book was given to my little sister. She had me read it to her so often I memorized it. When I had my daughter, she gifted it to her. Now all 3 of us have it memorized. My daughter is 13 and we have put the book up to pass onto her daughter. Susan Meddaugh has poetic rhyming down to an art.The book teaches responsibility and "It just goes to show, how caring can grow, even when it starts out with your brother." A great read!

Wonderful Book!

My two-year-old adores this book. I have it memorized from reading it to him so many times upon demand. The prose has a nice rhythm and rhyme that carries hints of Dr Seuss without the made-up words. The messages on caring, friendship and siblings are positive also. It should definitely [stay] in print!

A Classic Treat

My mother began reading Maude and Claude Go Abroad every night to me when I was five years old. Its clever, creative, and hilarious rhyming narrative teaches lessons about sibling rivalry, family, and the importance of friendship. Twenty years later, I still have the entire book memorized! A must-have.
