Although this book borders on almost being incomprehensible, not in terms of words or illustrations, but just storyline, it is whacky enough to warrant a place on the bookshelf. Sometimes literature just needs to be silly.

Silly story ( )

This book is funny and clever. I absolutely loved it. This is a very entertaining book for children to read and it gives great advice on ways to remember things. Aside from Aunt Rosemary's lists and strings, Annie using songs to help her and her family remember things was a very good technique. Many children use songs to help them remember things, especially for school purposes. I also thought the pictures were awesome because the family's appearance resembled the Frazzle's character. Great book! ( )
