They are going through a bit of a rough patch in their relationship, and I believe that this lovable story about a father and a son (and a cat! and funny names!) would bring some much needed laughter into their storytime, and beyond. I loved your description of your husband and son howling hysterically as they read this together. Hysterical howling can be so good for the soul!john & catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255968938286698274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-61280923147437659682010-02-25T11:47:58.897-06:002010-02-25T11:47:58.897-06:00Seriously, seriously want this book!Seriously, seriously want this book!Carynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786945629220546435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-39583553527319711082010-02-25T11:32:32.847-06:002010-02-25T11:32:32.847-06:00eek! i seriously want this book!

Love Pancakes for Breakfast. The illustrations are just simply adorable. BUT after reading Antmusic's post, I think he is more deserving of this book. I enjoyed Lydia's post too. So I'll throw in a vote for each of them!

I always look for those when I'm in the library - since they are the best ones... :)<br /><br />We've never actually read Daniel M.

Because it has beautiful illustrations, because it is funny, because it has been recommended by you, because we can't possibly get it around here (unless perhaps at full price - which I just can't afford!), because I love books and there aren't any libraries around so I have made a mini one of used books for my child, and oh, it is just waiting for this book!Swatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17173996390154408845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-40133975039980838052010-02-23T18:40:36.987-06:002010-02-23T18:40:36.987-06:00For the past 2 years we have celebrated Daniel Pin...For the past 2 years we have celebrated Daniel Pinkwater's birthday by sharing his Larry books with the students. We encourage everyone to wear pink and also pass out pink bear bookmarks to all the students. It has been a fun celebration by intorducing students and staff to an author they may not be familiar with. It would be amazing to have another Daniel Pinkwater book to share with the students. <br />Also, this book reminds me of my cat that we adopted. She seems to keep growing-wider and wider. My sister laughs everytime she comes to visit because our cat seems to expand more and more each day.<br />This book would make an excellent addition to our collection of Daniel Pinkwater books. One for the kids and teachers to enjoy, as well as myself.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804146319413075911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-51844139916666047862010-02-23T10:58:22.796-06:002010-02-23T10:58:22.796-06:00Oh!

My child is the first young one in the family, and all the "adults" love to read to him---it is the only time he stops and snuggles! As such, we are always looking for good books, so we would love this one!

If it's readable it's lovable. <br /><br />I'd love to have the book because my 9yo autistic son loves cats with a passion and would love both having the story read to him and looking at it himself.

Well, Daniel Manus Pinkwater is so fun and amazing. His children's books are so different and great (I finally got "The Big Orange Splot" recently)! His teen novels are wonderful too (yeah, I read them growing up... they are wacky and weird). I have a looooonnnng list of books that I am looking for of his (mostly for myself....shhh). "The Wuggie Norple Story" is at the top, because we love Tomie dePaola in our house. He is such a fun artist with a sensitivity that my kids adore. <br /><br />I've never been able to find "The Wuggie Norple Story" (and this is a hardcover!!!). Condition schmadission those ex-library books hold up (70% of our library is ex-library)! <br /><br />So, PLEASE enter me into this one!

I've read great reviews of The Wuggie Norple Story, but have never actually read the book; our county library system doesn't carry it, and for many months I've looked for it at thrift stores and a used book store in town. The used copies being sold online are out of my price range. So I would be unspeakably thrilled not only to read the book to my kids but also to add it to our collection!Kimberlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-75930327781805497302010-02-22T08:45:17.016-06:002010-02-22T08:45:17.016-06:00this is the silliest and most wonerdful diPaola bo...this is the silliest and most wonerdful diPaola book, and I'd love to have a copy! :)Margaret E.
