Rover Saves Christmas

Do you like comedy, or laughing so hard you cry? If yes, read Rover Saves Christmas by: Roddy Doyle. If no, go find some other book. What happen when Rudolph gets sick on Chtistmas Eve? Rover saves the day, with a little help from his friends. Can a dog make it all around the world in one night? I think Roddy Doyle wrote this book because he nedded a good laugh. This is the best book ever. It's so funny ( like S.N.L. for kids funny .) Even my mom likes it. So what are you waiting for? Go buy the book and read it! P.S. : Read every page even 159. P.S.S : Who are you? Who are you? Whhhooo aaarrreee yyyoooouu?! P.S.S.S. : Bum - Bum! Bum - Bum!! Buuummm - Buummm!!! You have to read the book to understand this.

This is a great book. It is so, so funny. It is a great Christmas book. I love the author, he writes really funny and entertaining books. I think it was as good as "The Giggler Treatment." I can't wait for his next book for kids.Ethan Young age 7

i don't care what a lot of other people said, this book is really funny and i really liked it. so did my friends. it's definitely as good as the giggler treatment, maybe better.

THis book is FUNNY. I spotted it in the children's section in our bookstore and decided that it is somethign worth getting for my son (a couple of years will pass before he is old enough for ths, but as an ambitious mother I have already started building a library--I kow it is silly, but it is amazing how many really good children's books are rarely reprinted)I read it and was laughing out loud. It is a simple story--Rudolph goes on strike and Santa needs to use Rover, the dog. The short chapters are hilarious, and the illustrations are beautiful. Some situations are absurd, and this absurdity is reinforced by the way the novel is structured (with recurring chapters and ads).Doyle has a great, multi-layered sense of humor, that borh children and adults will enjoy. He reminded me a lot of Terry Pratchett.

My 7 year old devoured this book in 2 days. Amid the sporatic chuckles came the inevitable "hey ma, listen to this.."as he came upon a particularly comical snippet that begged to be shared. This book sparkles with a unique charm, from the off-the-wall characters to the ever recurring chapter 6. The humorous, yet unsavory competition of 2 different advertisers dispersed between the pages offers a unique sense of the pervasive capitalization that only Christmas can bring. Don't worry if you dislike the ending of the book, for it offers a variety of conclusions for you to choose from. The lighthearted illustrations complement the book very well.
