Not only do her pictures faithfully mirror the antics of the story, they also expand on the jokes, adding hilarious details and prankish asides.' --NYT. ' A] standout....Chast gets the tone just right: childlike...

Not For the Chast but Not Without Her
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
For lovers of Roz Chaste, this is not her writing - only her drawings, so not the wry and pointed humor you might expect. Still, if you love a child who is a grump, a crank or a bossy know-it-all, this may be for her/him. Roz's illustrations make the moral easier to swallow. A good lesson to have on your shelf. And gotta love that Roz.
Brilliant!

I love how Patty Jane's beady little mind works. And Roz Chast's illustrations are priceless. How is it a punishment to send this kid to her room when she has all this junk?
A guaranteed "laugh-out-louder!"

My 7 year old niece Kristen and I both adore this book. Easily read (and re-read!!) by child and auntie alike, Patty Jane's conversation about her plan to dig her "Tunnel to Freedom" with her "pointy dress shoes" is hysterical, and the illustrations are equally perfect ("yukky foods: aspic with things in it") We both want MORE!!!
A joy for children and parents alike!

The humor in this delightful, colorful book will please parents as much as children.... Martin and Marx capture the tone of the child in all of us who plots sweet revenge against a sibling. A fun book to read aloud.... I laughed out loud, and so did my four-year old companion.
