 | The Monster at the End of this Book (Big Little Golden Books) | |
 | "Absolutely Cute & Adorable -- And A Hoot Besides!!! :)" | 2009-11-08 |
| Too bad Amazon's product description violates Amazon's own guidelines by providing a full-on spoiler! But fortunately -- hey -- how many toddlers read Amazon product descriptions?!? :)
Actually, it doesn't take very much guesswork for an adult (or a smart kid) to figure out the ending; just look at the front cover, then read the title! (Heck, what ELSE would a "monster" look like, if not Blue and Furry, LOL!) Those who know what the term means (which, alas!, is not many people) will notice that this book flagrantly "breaks the fourth wall"*, using it to excellent comic advantage. :) The real "hoot" in this book comes on pages 16-19, when Grover tries building a brick wall to prevent you from turning the page and then, when you've turned the page (utterly demolishing said brick wall in the process) asks in a small, humbled voice, "Do you know that you are very strong?" Utterly Cute! Utterly Adorable! Anyone who DOESN'T buy this doesn't know WHAT he or she is MISSING!!! :) --- *Those who are curious about this admittedly very odd-sounding term can search for "fourth wall" on Wikipedia -- the very first result will be the article you want. Be forewarned, however, that you'll get FAR more information than you actually want or need. In fact, you probably won't need to go any further than the very first paragraph. | ||

| "I absolutely ADORE this book!" | 2009-04-21 |
| Our whole family (not just me!) absolutely adored this book when I was a kid, and we still love it today. What more is there to say than that?! :) | ||
 | The Story About Ping | |
| "Ah, Gentle & Much Loved Tale! Welcome!" | 2009-04-21 |
| I am SO happy to see this book still (or back?) in print!!! I loved this gentle fable of the little duck who runs away to avoid getting a spank on his back (for being the last aboard the boat which is his home at night), only to learn the hard way that getting lost, and the consequent loneliness, is worse; and that facing up to one's misdeeds is worthwhile. Everyone in our family loved this little book when we were kids, and we are very happy to see it still available. :) | ||
