Good Humor for Young (and not-so-young) Readers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I read this short chapter book while passing some time in an elementary library and was delighted with the genuine humor and the breezy writing of this original tale. Adults who read this story aloud to their children will enjoy the humor as much as their kids, and readers who have graduated to chapter books will find this one funny and entertaining.I'm always impressed when I come across a fresh storyline in a children's book, and this tale of the mysterious (yet strangely familiar!) visitors to the Lonesome Cafe is definitely an original idea.
Old Friends--New Tricks
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This hilarious little volume is a perfect gift for that child who sees things just a little bit off center. Herein, we meet old friends--who are up to some surprising new activities. Ever wonder what Santa does in the off season? The quirky, charming illustrations add another dimension. I laughed out loud at the portrait of Bigfoot as a short order cook. Adults and children will enjoy the subtle satire of an insatiable media unable to locate any real story--even when it's right under their noses.
