Book Overview

Knee-slappers from the man praised as an entertaining combination of Marlin Perkins and Lewis Grizzard

According to Jim Mize, nature has no mercy--just a sense of humor--and in this hilarious romp through the woods, he waxes comic about carnivorous plants, insects that make people nervous, and birds with bad names. He points out, for instance, that all plants are edible. It's just that some of them will kill you.

great for all ages

Jim Mize's book, "The Winter of our Discount Tent" caught my eye because of the title. Anything with that title had to be funny and it is! I love the author's take on nature : i.e."carp spawn in the mud 'cause they're so ugly". There's so much more! I was impressed to find this book on my child's middle school reading list, also. Each chapter is a story in itself, so if you can't read for long periods of time, you will feel satisfied after a chapter or two, but you'll find you can't wait to get back!

funny, well-written, visually descriptive

"The Winter of our Discount Tent "is a delightfully funny book of stories that can be read over short periods of time, picked up later and never miss a beat. Based on the author's experiences, you'll find yourself laughing out loud. If you like Patrick McManus, you'll love Jim Mize!
