Yes, I am giving this the sacred FIVE-STAR rating. It's short, it's sweet, it's hilarious, and it is my all-time favorite kid's book. I know, I have broken a taboo by placing it over all the works of Dr. Seuss.

Its a great children's book, best when read with animated voices, you have to do it the same every time, otherwise It bothers me, and you have to count the correct number of 'yay's!'(one for every little pop-snorkel). No longer in print so you better get it online somewhere. Man this is a great book.

Typical Pinkwater weirdness. The best part of the book is the family's name...Popsnorkle. Classic!

A fun fantastical story with marker drawings as illustrations. Great Reading Rainbow Book that excites the imagination.

This book is a lot of fun to read to a toddler. The Popsnorkel family goes to the car dealer to buy a new car and they test drive the Tooth Gnasher Superflash which can do all kinds of things one doesn't usually expect a car to do. Lots of opportunities to use different voices and when the car turns into a dinosaur, elephant, etc., my daughter loves jumping up and down on the bed and acting out the different creatures. As a parent, I have to read a lot of children's books and this is one of my f

Just as fun as I remembered it from my childhood. My kindergartener adored it- and as a bonus, it's evidently one of the first books we've read where there was an extensive use of last names, so it lead to a useful discussion about calling people "Mr." "Mrs." and "Ms." as well as why they are the "five little Popsnorkles"

Silly and fun book.
A bunch of silly things that a car becomes (dinosaur, elephant) brought on lots of giggles from everyone here.
