BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT!
Huge surprise! The cover art appealed to me though I didn't care for the title. It didn't sound like enough of a story and I certainly didn't expect the reaction that came from my 3 1/2 year old. As we lay in bed reading she ripped off the covers, jumped up and responded with glee to every command. "Stand up," "Sit down," etc. Perplexing.
What's great is that it's easy to remember, so anytime, anywhere you can "play" the book...at the airport, at Thanksgiving, at the doctor's office. Get other kids involved, parents, random passersby...make it a worldwide sensation! (Sorry, delusions of grandeur again.) I also like having a little insider joke between just the two of us. The outsiders think, "Man, those two are so fun."
I won't yet go on about Jan Thomas' other books, particularly, The Dog House. Watch for that review soon. "Nevermind! Don't wait! Just go check 'em out now. Yeah I'm talking to you!"
