I've mentioned before here that I think that Dave Barry is just about the funniest writer around—I used to gobble up his stuff in the newspaper and bookstore as quickly as it came out. I'm not sure what changed, but there are a handful of books by him that I haven't gotten to yet. Thankfully, my Lib...
While I liked the lessons from Lucy, she is a wise girl, I didn't get much from the inbetween stories. Dave Barry has something to say, there was inspiration and some chuckling moments there but they were dulled by filler stories. I don't know him, have never heard of him before, perhaps it I had a ...
4.5 starsI’ve a thing for this sort of books and Peter’s story always strings a cord in my heart with all the sadness of never growing up while seeing all the others around you do.This book was about how Peter became Peter and how got to be in Neverland and I really liked it.(See reading activity fo...
Before I say anything else, Barry has set up an Instagram page (well, probably not him, actually -- he states in the book he doesn't understand Instagram) for his dog, Lucy. You should absolutely check it out and then come back to read what I have to say about the book. Dog Pictures > my blog. Prett...
I needed something light and non-fiction(ish) last night and this was perfect. I've never read Barry before, but I knew I was in for fun and maybe a laugh or two. I not only wasn't disappointed, but I now have the urge to, next time I'm home, shove MT in the car and subject him to all the wacky, t...

C., who fall into a strange predicament involving international intrigue, kidnapping, an attack on the White House/President and very, v...
3 stars only for the absolutely hilarious chapter on his daughter learning to drive and the safest car in the world, a 1961 Plymouth Valiant station wagon. I was in stitches throughout that whole chapter.I also quite enjoyed the chapter "Everything I Learned About Home Improvement I Learned From Joh...
My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I liked it!!! ***Borrowed the audiobook CD’s from the library The cover is definitely Peter Pan-ish and makes you think of magical adventures. This is the 4th book in the series, and while I loved listening to it with my son, it was not my favorite. I think I...
My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!! ***Borrowed the audiobook CD’s from the library The cover is definitely a magical adventure that grabs your attention and says read me :) I really do love that Jim Dale has continued as the narrator :) I love when there is consistency, and my so...
