Customer Reviews

imagine a toddler that big!

Overall this book will please readers young and old; it's great at providing entertainment and a good chuckle for all ages. I would guess this book is aimed at children aged 4-8 but I read it with my 3 year old and he seemed to like the big baby described in the pages of this book with the interesting pictures that brought this story to life. This baby gets lots of attention and love just like our kiddos do too. This is a really fun one.

Wicked Good Book

I have to admit that I think I love this book more than my 2 year old does. As a native New Englander, I love all of the humorous details in the illustrations that I know my own "toddlah" does not quite get yet. I would highly recommend this book as a fun read for the whole family.

Witty, funny book!

Wow! I read these reviews because I am planning on buying it after renting it at the library for my 1.5 & 2.5 year-old children, who, by the way, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book! I think they got a lot more out of the silly humor, and (to adress a previous reviewer) believe it or not, never asked me why it didn't actually show the maple syrup being produced. If they wanted that, I would read them a book about maple syrup production (to put them to sleep). Oh, and they didn't notice that the hat wasn't knitted, either. We read lots of books, like "Hippos Go Berserk", and I didn't feel the need to explain to them that hippos don't actually talk, or dial phones, or throw parties. I am so glad you are not my children's teacher! The whole family enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it!

Great Read for Kids & Adults

I've admired Kevin Hawkes' illustrations for years, and now he's brought his wit and intelligene the the writing as well. Wicked Big Toddlah holds pages of funny observations and opportunities to search for more jokes in the drawings. A wicked Good Read.

Hilarious tale.

Kevin Hawkes' THE WICKED BIG TODDLAH tells of Toddie, who is like any other baby - except he's way too big. Toddie eats trees, takes baths in the ocean, and is very smelly... his first year of life challenges his small Maine town in this hilarious tale.
