A solid beginning reader. Bubble Trouble and All Wrapped Up are standard everyday silly, and Jordan's Silly Sick Day and Quite Enough Hot Dogs are surrealism silly. The 123 pages turn quickly, the illustrations are expressive, and I like the interactive adult guide at the end: think of rhymes, draw pictures, make a silly story, put the story pictures in order.

Even though this book has 127 pages, it's the perfect book for a new reader because it has 4 short stories: Bubble Trouble, All Wrapped Up, Jordan's Silly Sick Day, and Quite Enough Hot Dogs. The stories are silly and fun.

This is such a fun book, and who can resist 4 books in 1? Our favorite story in my Pre-K class was Quite Enough Hot Dogs. The kids loved it so much, we acted it out in class, and hot dogs were the topic of student discussion for many days :)

Silly short stories. You may read them all in a row or space them out over the week. They are sure to have your kids giggling.
