5.0 out of 5 stars the kids, two and five, were laughing their heads off., 4 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Avocado Baby (Red Fox picture books) (Paperback)
Mrs. Hargraves baby wouldn't eat and was growing quite weak until it was suggested by one of the children that they try some avocado pear. Like Popeye and spinach the results are miraculous. Nothing better than when the bullies end up in the park pond. My two and five year old laugh hysterically---even better I could read it again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best children's books EVER., 10 Jan 2001
By A Customer
At the age of 21 with no children, I still had to buy this book! It had me laughing out loud, and I believe it will go on to be a classic like "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". I'm training as a teacher of 3 to 8 year olds next year, and I think this book will be very handy!
