Reviews

[Theresa Kennedy · Rating 5 out of 5]

There is no image here, which is unfortunate because the illustrations for this children's book is what makes it so hysterical. The book was illustrated by celebrated children's book illustrator Stephen Kellogg and its FUNNY. Long to short a little boy discovers what might happen to him if he doesn't behave and his imagination goes wild. VERY funny book.
