illusrator has no artistic talent The book is okay but the pictures are horrible, I would not suggest letting children view them, it seems as though if the illusrator has no artistic talent
Great bedtime story. Makes a fantastic gift! This is our favorite bedtime story. It is fun and witty. It is a book parents really enjoy reading to their children. Every parent can relate to the exhausted dad trying to shorten stories to get his child to bed. I keep copies on hand always, because we give this book as a gift at almost every birthday party and baby shower that we get invited to. You can't go wrong with this funny and fun to read book.
Kloske just told our secret This book was a gift and now I am giving it to everyone I know with young children. Kloske has definitely been there--all those nights we parents cut out a few words from a story to get to sleep that much sooner--if the book weren't so funny, I'd feel like he told our secret. This book is hysterical. Our six year old gets the humor and the younger children love the stories. Now "are you asleep yet?" is a nighttime family catch phrase. It's well worth every penny.
Not what I was hoping for I thought this would have short, cute fairy tales... instead I found "humorously" edited versions to abbreviate well-known fairy tales. Not really what I had in mind to read to the kids in the family. They didn't quite understand the humor.
fun for parents but not as fun for kids I could totally relate to the underlying theme of this book so I bought it for our 4-year old because it sounded fun. While I can appreciate the humor, it doesn't keep his attention.
