Great Children's Book, 2008-07-20
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!

don't appreciate page with mother hitting child, 2008-05-29
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.

Great for classrooms., 2006-08-03
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.

Who does? You do!, 2005-10-15
My 5-year-old son absolutely loves this book! I loved Shel Silverstein as a child and I am excited that my son has discovered him already. I read this book aloud to my son's preschool class, and they laughed out loud! What better review is there than from a class full of 5-year-olds? The only reason I have given it 4 stars versus 5 is that it discusses the rhinoceros opening your uncle's beer can, and your mother hitting you. Luckily my son does not read yet, so in our version of the story the rhinoceros opens a CAN, and he keeps your mother from GETTING you. The rhinoceros appears peering out of a toilet, which anyone who knows a 5-year-old is aware, is pretty darn funny.

Just plain fun., 2004-11-28
Yes it's plain - loose line drawings, and a sentence or half on each page. But it's fun. There's imagination, play, friendship, and everything else you want a "read to me" kid to hear and see.

No big lessons, just a bit of happy goofiness. I want more.
