For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleI'm a little conflicted about this one. It's a fun, entertaining, hilarious, engaging book, but in the past week, I've read it over and over again with a few 3-5-year-olds and now they all love to say how bored they are. But I still think it's a great ...

Really quite funny, was encouraged to read it by a co-worker, and then created Parental Advisory stickers for it, definitely for adults, not kids, entertaining.

Last night, my friend and I went to the restaurant with the great food and the wonderful staff (aka Double Knot). Before we ate we stopped at the Bookstore of Temptation (aka Joseph Fox - they have a website, too) and brought books. I did not buy this book. As great as it is, and it is great, it ...

I picked it up for the kid who does get bored, took it home, and read it out to her.It's a hoot! A fine example of "show, don't tell" the child comes up with some of the many cool things she can do.

I've seen this guy - sardonic, sarcastic, irreverent, witty, and down-right funny. I expected to laugh - and I did. What I didn't expect were the insightful, sensitive, almost-made-you-cry moments. Who would have guessed that he is marshmallow-filled?I loved this book for it's sweet, forthright, and...

This book isn't as funny as it is honest and accurate, and it's really quite funny. I've never read any other portrait of marriage, colicky infants, parenthood, being a teetotaler control freak, and crying to a Creed song on the side of the road that struck me the way this one did.
