Reviews

[Stephanie Pieck · Rating 1 out of 5]

I owned a copy of this book as a child and often wondered then what compelled people to include (or exclude) things from a book. Now as then, many of the jokes fell flat or seemed overworked, worn out.
There are a few gems, though, but I won't spoil the book by revealing any. It's short enough that it can be read, even by a reluctant child, in a single sitting.
