Customer Reviews:

Mothers Day Lunch.......2007-02-09

The attractivness of this story is the special bond that has occurred with Henry and his family. He is so excited about Mothers Day "knowing" that he and dad will take a secret trip to get something special for mom. Arriving home they creatively make something together, that they think mom will just love! Mudge and his appetite just enhance the humor that makes this an all around fun story.

another Henry and Mudge.......2005-09-30

Another Henry and Mudge... we love the series (have everything offered in paperback), but this one wasn't quite up "Henry and Mudge and the Green Time" or "Henry and Mudge and the Happy Cat". My son, nevertheless, wants to make me a funny lunch next Mother's Day. If you love the series, get it. If you are new to Henry and Mudge, start with some of the first books in the series.

Kids determined to put together the best Mother's Day lunch.......2004-06-12

With this Level 2 focus on independent reading skills, kids will more readily move from beginning reader to enjoying more complex tales with paragraphs and short chapters. What better place to start than with Henry and Mudge & The Funny Lunch, Cynthia Rylant's zany story of kids determined to put together the best Mother's Day lunch ever ? against all odds?color drawings add to the appeal.

Book Description

How do you draw your smelly dog? Your playful daddy? Your yummy mommy? See how one girl does it in this simple, clever picture book that's comprised of family portraits made out of objects. For example, her baby brother is so noisy—he's as loud as a whistle, a horn, and even a fire truck!—that she creates a picture of him with whistles for eyes, a horn mouth, and holding a fire truck. After the girl has described everyone in her family, (including herself, in great detail) she asks, "What does your special family look like?" encouraging readers to create their own portraits. With a list of objects at the end of the book to use as a guide, this is the ideal choice for budding artists everywhere.

Woof!.......2006-01-08

A charming, witty and touching book that never insults its young readers' intelligence. It is certain to delight children and parents alike. I look forward to the next installment in what I hope will be a series of books about the loveable, good-natured and clever Wuffy, the dog with a heart of gold. More, please!

Wonderful! Definitely worth your time. .......2005-12-24

Excellent book! I couldn't put it down either of the times I read it. It's funny, touching, and extremely well-written. Adults and children alike will (and do!) love it.

Wuffy the Wonder Dog is a collection of short stories featuring Wuffy and his best friend, Elizabeth. Elizabeth is a well-educated and sophisticated cat, and Wuffy never stops trying to impress her with his many talents. Wuffy always means well, but he gets into more scrapes than any dog I've ever met. In one story, he is a scientist experimenting on chocolate. In another, he's a doctor who cures sick little girls better than chicken soup. Each story has another unique situation exploring the many facets of this adorable but somewhat arrogant little dog. This is a wonderful read-aloud book for all ages, or a read-alone book for elementary readers. The gorgeous illustrations compliment the well-written story. I can highly recommend this book to any and all.

Wuffy will steal your heart.......2005-12-18

What a sweet book! Wuffy is charming, innocent, and funny, he instantly wins you over. The book manages to be both adorable and educational, and it will be enjoyed by both the children and parents. The book is broken into short stories that are perfect size for a bedtime reading.

Book Description

Mr. Chickee, the genial blind man in the neighborhood, gives 9-year-old Steven a mysterious bill with 15 zeros on it and the image of a familiar but startling face. Could it be a quadrillion dollar bill? Could it be real? Well, Agent Fondoo of the U.S. Treasury Department and his team of Secret Government Agents are determined to get that money back! But Steven and his best friends, Russell and Zoopy the giant dog, are more than a match for the Feds. After all, Steven is the president of the Flint Future Detectives Club, and the inventor of fantastic spying and detecting equipment such as the Snoopeeze 9000!

Mr. Chickee's Funny Money.......2007-05-30

I love how the characters of Chickee's Funny Money have such "funny" names, like Zoopie, Agent Fondoo, and Mr. Chickee. The characters are hilarious! This book would be great for 8 to 12 year-olds (2nd grade to 6th grade). Mr. Chickee's Funny Money is adventure fiction. In the book, a boy named Steven sticks up for his old blind neighbor, Mr. Chickee, when all the other kids (except for his five-year old friend, Russell) make fun of Mr. Chickee. One day, Mr. Chickee wants to leave Steven's town to visit some relatives. Mr. Chickee gives Steven an envelope and tells Steven not to open it until he gets home. When he gets home, Steven opens it up to find a...quadrillion-dollar bill with some jumbled letters! He wants to know what it means, so he shows it to his Mom and Dad. Steven's Dad takes him to a government agent named Agent Fondoo. When Agent Fondoo saw the quadrillion dollar bill, he wanted to get it back. It used to be the government's bill, but Mr. Chickee somehow got it. Christopher Paul Curtis made the words pop out from the page, like when Steven's dad said, "'I'M NOT PLAYING WITH YOU, STEVEN DAEMON CARTER. STAY OUT!!!!!!!!!" My favorite part of the book is in the ending, but to tell you would give the entire book away. Two thumbs up for Christopher Paul Curtis!

Excellent book for youth.......2007-01-19

An excellent mixture of comedy and intrigue. Book positively explores the concept of relationships. Is a little week on supporting authority figures, but all in all a very good book for youth.

sorry - Not his best.......2006-10-29

The Wastons is one of by favorite books and I really liked Bud Not Buddy and Bucking the Sarge...but alas this one does not reach the same high standard. Compared to the Watsons, Bucking the Sarge is for an older reader and Mr. Chickee is for a younger reader. It does have some very clever ideas and some funny moments but it does not come together as brilliantly as his first two books.
What ever happen to the movie for the Watsons?

a laugh out loud book.......2006-07-13

My 6th grader couldn't resist reading this book out loud at the dinner table, chuckling the whole time. A didactic father who turns every event into an excuse for a math or history lesson, an overly patronizing mother who has read one too many child psychology books -- what child wouldn't identify with their long-suffering son, who sees right through them? I especially liked the fact that here, as in Bud Not Buddy, while it becomes gradually clear by the end of the story that the protagonist is African-American, that fact is no more and no less relevant than describing some other character as Irish. Highly recommended.

The book is about a blind man who gives Steven a quadrillion dollar bill but Steven does not know if it is real or not. He decides to take the book to the "Feds" to see if it is real of not. Well, agent Fondoo is offering Steven 2 thousand dollars for the quadrillion dollar bill but Steven knows better than that. The agent then start traking Steven. Read the book to find out what happens. It is a very funny and exciting book.
I like this book because of how the author writes. He writes simple buy yet, uses words that can get you tense. He makes you feel that you are a spectator who is in the book and you can see in your head of what is happening. If there is a sequel I will be wanting to read it and I wonder what will happen to Steven in his next adventure.
My favorite part in the book is when Agent Fondoo had to apologize to Steven and his parents and Russell's parents too. I didn't like how the way Fondoo treated the kids so I thought it was really funny how Agent Fondoo had to give Steven and his family a lot of things so he could apologize. I hope that the if the sequal comes out Steven will be able to find out who and how r. Chickee was invovled with all of this. So, read the book and experience how fun and exciting this book is.

Customer Reviews:

Kafka? H.F. Saint? Add Bethancourt!.......2006-06-11

I found this a very readable story. If Kafka can write about a man turning into a bug, and H. F. Saint can write about a man becoming invisible, and, for that matter, David Garnett can write about a lady turning into a fox, what's so crazy about a boy turning into a dog? I found I was eager to read the story, just to see what happened. I felt joy over each success of the central character and concern over each difficulty. A great book for those of us who remain boys at heart.

One of my all time favorites!.......2004-12-03

This is not a review, it's a flat out rave!....I am such a shill for this book!...I read it as a teenager and it still ranks as one of my favorite books... my big brother made me read it, and he hated to read!LOL...but he LOVED this book...I have ordered a copy and can't wait to introduce my own teenage son to this wonderful book...don't let the "children's book" category throw you,either...it deals with enough adult issues to keep all ages glued to the pages, trust me!...5 outta 5 and I echo the above poster's feeling...I wanna give it more stars!!

D.D.O.A.C Rocks!.......2001-08-13

Dog days of Arthur Cane is a funny and feel-good book. As soon as you begin to read this book, you start to see things through the eyes of Artur, teenage boy/Awful, mutt dog as he tries to plead his case to a range of people. As he tries more and more to get people to help him, he also becomes more accustomed to being a dog and begins to even enjoy it a little. A fascinating book that paints a vivid picture in your mind and wakes you up to the cruelty of some humans, D.D.O.A.C is truly stunning read, and after you've counted the humor, feeling, and plot of this book, you feel unfair for giving it only five stars.

The Dog Days Of Authur Cane.......1999-11-25

What can I say... It's brilliant!

"This books is about a boy, Authur Cane, who turns into dog" is what most people say about this book, but it's not. its about someone, just after a few weeks, sees how much people are cruel... and how loving people are too. Its about someone who relizes how much people are selfish and mean, but there are good sides to people as well. Ya, The guy does turn into a Dog, but the adventure that he takes you on is... well, I can't explain it. The book is brillian, the bad thing is a out of publish. You can't find it anywhere anymore. I know because My teacher look everywhere for the book and he could not find it. Finally he found it in the school libary. Nobody read it so they were going to give it away, then my teacher took it. He read it to the class. Brillian, funny, moving and drama, what can I say...

I can't explain it, just read it. I did (well actually heard it), and I love it!

No Sophomore Slump Here.......2006-12-19

You wonder when you read these kinds of books if the second one could be as good as the first one, but this one really is. It shows that everyday life is a sitcom in and of itself, but it also brings us experiences that we can learn from, both spiritually and in day-to-day life. It really causes you to think about the small things in life...like this author's amount of hair.

Unlike his college career and dating life, there is no sophomore slump in book publishing for Martin.

Five Star Rating for a book as-yet-unread!.......2006-12-07

Is it "fair" to rate an as-yet-unread book?! YES! Because the rating is based on enjoying Babb's previous book ("When Did Caesar become a Salad..."). Along with this "review" is my order for 10 copies of "It's a Dog Eat Dog World..."

CANINE LOVERS WILL GET MORE THAN A FEW CHUCKLES !.......2001-12-15

Dogs can do the craziest things at the most unsuspecting time. Others plan their day accordingly. I have an English Cocker Spaniel who all but leaps through the drive-through window of his favourite do-nut shop, and has been known to devour the bag with those little "bits" still inside! The staff all know him and he takes great delight in flaunting his fame, not to mention basking in all the attention he receives. A dog's life, as portrayed through this book, will bring a fair share of chuckles to your day. It's cute, amusing and sometimes just plain silly..but that's exactly what our little canine friends are, isn't it? Ahh, but to live a pampered dog's life!

Very cute.......1999-06-01

This is a cute book with pictures of dogs doing funny things. Each page has a picture of a different dog. Perfect for a rainy day or if you don't feel like reading, just want to look at pictures. Could be used for many different things, even could be used to give you ideas for stories.

Too small, mistitled, but still a classic.......1997-04-12

This is another book review by Wolfie and Kansas, the boonie dogs from Toto, Guam. "Funny Dogs" may be the best photography book we have ever seen. The editor wisely used black-and-white pictures, for easier viewing by species that are somewhat color blind. The photographs themselves are uniformly outstanding. We have only two minor complaints about this book. First, the title is misleading. While many of the dogs who posed for this book display natural comedic ability, we found some of the pictures to be dignified rather than "funny". The pictures in this latter category would be "funny" only to some noncanine animals of primate derivation, not to a dog. Actually, we found that most of the humans pictured in this volume, including Red Skelton and Alfred Hitchcock, look just as funny as the dogs they are pictured with. Our other complaint is that this book is too small. Usually we prefer compact volumes that we dogs can easily carry in our mouths. However, the photos in this book are so wonderful that they should have been printed in a coffee table-sized edition. In conclusion, the humans at Amazon.com should choose this masterwork as a Book of the Day in either the Classic or Undiscovered category. Since they are only human, we are afraid they will probably name this a Wacky Book of the Day, but even that would bring this treasure to the attention of the wider audience it deserves.
