One of the best book for a funny loving kids..

My bub is 5 years old.. And he always chooses this book over hundreds of his other books! He loves it so much and finds it so funny.. He loves the lines and keeps on repeating it while we read it for him.. He has mugged them all! And the best thing is, it makes him laugh for the entire duration of its narration, from the start till the end!

Before I got my copy, I wondered about this book for several months and wasn't so sure if my son would like it or not. I received my copy just yesterday and already this book has been read more than 5 times. It has been a total HIT in my home.

But a rule of caution for parents -
*************************************
This book works only if you are able to read it with all expressions and funny voices.

A plain text read may not appeal to your child, and you may feel that you lost money at this purchase.

My advice,
**************
buy it only if you know you will be able to do justice to the book as there aren't any pictures to keep children hooked.

It only depends on parents/ other grownups to make it interesting.

For those who are able to make it interesting, it really is worth every penny spent.

It is one of the most innovative idea (no pictures) for a children's book where sentences do all the trick and you can't stop bursting into a laughter.

From saying 'I am a monkey who taught myself to read' to singing 'Glug Glug Glug, my face is a bug, I eat ants for breakfast right off the rug', this book actually makes GROWN-UPS say silly things. Read sentences in SILLY way/voice and see your kids have a hearty laugh at your expense.

Everytime, the sentence comes 'Can I stop reading it yet', my 3-year-old pint-sized toddler says 'NO'.

Best is saved for the last when you read 'THE END- BONK, I DID NOT WANT TO SAY THAT'. My kid says 'READ IT AGAIN'.

Highly recommend… It was a surprise buy… I bought the book based on review…

Here is my 2 cents:

me and my 5 yr old thoroughly enjoy reading this… CAUTION you may sound utterly funny … silly .. completely ridiculous…. However it’s worth it with ur kid…

This book is quite expensive. I got it at rs 267.

It turned out to be a hit with my 5 year old though. He absolutely loves when i read it to him. And what more, he has started reading this book himself. Before this book, he has never showed inclination to 'read', (which is fair, he is only 5) and preferred to just look at pictures. This book changed that. Everyday, he has been reading this book to everyone in the family and laughs uncontrollably at the silly things in the book.

I still think it is quite expensive though.

For the price and content inside, it is an expensive book. There are more meaningful books to buy for kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!

Absolutely fantastic, I have to say my son was not impressed to receive a book with no pictures; however by page 3 he was in hysterics and completely won over! As I turned the last page with tears rolling down our cheeks from laughter - I heard the phrase "read it again Mummy"
By the end of the second reading my son declared it "the funniest book ever" and he has a lot of books and has read and been read to a lot.
Buy it, you won't regret it and by the end you too will probably be crying with laughter.
My child is aged 7 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Again! Again!"

I currently work in Year 1 and decided to read this charming book to my class on their very first day. Needless to say, with them probably being so nervous about being in school, it didn't quite get the reaction I wanted, having read it before.

However, days after I first read it aloud to them, the penny dropped and they still ask for me to read this to them. My classroom will then be filled with their giggles as well as a vivid future flashback of their (poor) teacher looking and sounding quite silly at the front of the room back in 2022.

You will have great fun reading this to your little person or people, I do! Thoroughly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for young children!

My four year old LOVES this book! It's very strange, and does indeed have no pictures! Instead, the premise is that the reader has to read *everything* on the pages, even things which don't make sense, made up words, or are really daft like 'my best friend is a hippo called Boo Boo Butt!'.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing

I bought this because of the positive reviews but my 5 year old found it really boring and I don't think she really understood what was supposed to be funny about it. Dissapointing. The idea is there but it needs more funny lines. The made up words had no effect, the only bit she liked was where the reader had to say that the child they were reading too was brilliant or something to that effect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly brilliant book to encourage the beauty of reading and the magic of words

Just a brilliant and lovely book - I bought an extra one for the school because it really does celebrate the beauty and power of reading to children. A great favourite in our house, I could not recommend this more - particularly as a tool in encouraging your child to develop a love of books and reading. Worth seeing the video of the author reading the book to understand how it was intended to be read aloud. Had my little ones rolling about with laughter at the (very slightly) risqué/cheeky language.
