Product Review Summary: Cute for kids My daughter collected this authors books. You have to be a kid to review this book.
Product Review Summary: Who wants a cheap rhinocerous This book is a must have for kids. Funny (silly), but practical. My grandson (6) just giggled all the way through it. It is written so that the children want to read it themselves. I have other Silverstein books, and this one lives up to the great reputation.
Product Review Summary: Great Children's Book As a former elementary school library tech I give this book a BIG 4 stars. Children (and adults) will delight in the humor of the illustrations!
Product Review Summary: don't appreciate page with mother hitting child usually love Silverstein books, and most of this page is very inventive and cute, but the page that says "and he is great for not letting your mother hit you when you haven't really done anything bad" insinuates that it is actually acceptable for a parent to hit a child - which I totally disagree with and will return this book for that reason.
Product Review Summary: Great for classrooms. I've used this book with students from kindergarten to fifth grade. I made a flash video using the images from the book and added my own audio and sound effects. It's really an awesome book to do a "Create Your Own" with. Students can get really creative with the idea of having a wild animal in their own home that can do lots of random things for them. I recommend everyone buy this book now. It's worth it.
As for the comment on the mother hitting the kid in the book...Silverstein is obviously writing from a child's point of view. Children always think parents do things for no reason. "I didn't do anything except pee on all the toilet paper...She got mad for no reason!" Think about it.
