The Stupids Step Out

This is a GREAT book. Very funny and written to be so. And check out the publication date. I don't think that this book would probably get published in this age of political correctness (not to mention the fact that most school librarians came to their current positions after the book was bought), but there is a reason it is still in print -- kids love it. Now, obviously, there are other books for kids to read -- ones more educational or high toned or whatever. But we can't eat meat and vegetables all the time. Sometimes we want dessert and this book does just that with all its laughs.

The stupid step, out Written by Harry Allad, was the funniest book I have ever read. Stanley Q Stupid had an idea. He called all stupid and said `we are stepping out's they took a bath. Petunia asked way there wasn't water. The reason was that with water they would get their clothes wet. They got in the car and went to their grandparents house. The grandpa didn't know who they were. `Where is grandma? Asked buster. In the closet, said grandpa. Then they left. They saw themselves in the mirror. `Don't stare at those people, kids " they said. Then they went to eat and then they went home. They got ready for bed and thanked god for a nice day liked it because it was funny and it had a kid's sense of humor like when the dog drove the car. I recommend this book to people who like to laugh and be silly. You should read this book it is great!

I'm a teenager,(18) and my Mom read all the Stupids books to me when I was little. I loved them then, and I still do now. Mom thought they were as funny as I did! Now when I babysit I read them to the kids, who love them also! I think reading is very important to kids, and the Stupids can get them interested. Some people(adults) have a problem with the family being named the Stupids. I think it is a unjustified concern. Now a days there are many more insults kids could use that are a lot worse than just "Stupid". I explain to the kids I babysit that the books are just for fun, and it is'nt nice to go around calling people stupid, and they understand. Just in case, I also check with their parents before I read them to the kids, and have had no objections. The Stupids will always be my favorite children's books, and I can't wait to read them to my own children.

This is a Great Book. I laughed my head off while reading it. In the morning when the stupids woke up, they decided to do funny things for the day. My Favorite part was when the Stupids had a mashed potato sundae for dinner. The part where thier dog drove the car was funny too.

The class laughed loudly as we read the book. We thought the pictures on the walls were funny. The class and I thought that when Mr. Stupid was wearing the socks on his head was funny too. The dog driving the car was funny too. Another funny part was when the grandfather didn't know anyone.
