[J. Boo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just because you're schizophrenic and hear the voices of various inanimate objects talking to you, doesn't mean that you can't get a home design idea from one of the voices that will make you and your harried single mom rich. The sink is sad about its homely legs, so, in spite of the criticism of the bathtub, the girl makes a skirt for it and then a business out of sink skirts.

No idea what a kid would think of this book, but as an adult, I appreciate the author's weird acid trip.

If you want to feel like you went on an acid trip to an alternate universe I guess you could share this book with your kids (yes this is a kids book), but I wouldn't recommend.
