At some point, I guess, the "misters" and "little misses" are meant to fill in a compleat gradient of human foible--like, "contrary" sits comfortably right in between "silly" and "mischief." I guess that's a worthy goal. ( )

Trippy. I feel confident I read these when I was younger, but this one, at least, didn't come out 'til I was an adult. And now they're being discarded from libraries. I guess I'm not surprised - they're not lovely, or educational, or enriching. They're funny, and they've a vibe of being subversive - kinda like, it seems to me, listening to Dark Side of the Moon while high, or something else a little aslant like that.

I'd love to know more of what other folks think but I don't see a lot of reviews here.... ( )

Alanna loved this book. It made her giggle and laugh. ( )
