Product Description

Product Description
Jack's parents gave him a new toy and he can't believe how silly it is! Sometimes it's funny and other times it's scary. Sometimes it talks to him and other times it hides. At first, Jack loves all the surprises that his toy can offer, but after a while he starts to think his toy is a little too silly - in fact, it's gone out of control!

4.0 out of 5 stars An Intro to Comic Books, 24 Oct 2008
By Ursula K. Raphael "Gideon's Mom" (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Writing a review for a children's book is a little difficult because the book is written for children, but it's the parent writing the review (and I'm the one who has to read it aloud) - so, please bear with me, while I try to write from both perspectives.

First of all, my son was 3 yrs 1 month at the time that I read this book to him. Some of his other favorites at this age include: Max's Dragon Shirt (Max and Ruby), How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?, and David Gets in Trouble. My son paid attention through the entire book; he was genuinely interested in "the box." In fact, he told me that he liked the stars on the box, so I guess that was his way of saying he liked the illustrations. When I asked him what his favorite part was, he told me that he thought, "The duck was very funny," especially when he started carrying the broken lamp around, with ducklings everywhere.

For my part, I have mixed feelings about the book. I thought the illustrations were nice; their style reminded me of the old black and white cartoons (even though these illustrations are colored). The story was very original (definitely NOT boring), although the repetition of certain words and phrases was slightly irritating (and more annoying with each time I had to read it to my son). I thought the idea of the comic book design for a children's book was okay; I'm sure comic book collectors would get a kick out of reading this to their children.

However, I'm not thrilled with the idea of introducing the comic book style to my son at such a young age; I don't feel like it would benefit his interest in learning to read. He was more interested in the pictures than trying to figure out the words. As a mom, I think that if my son likes the story, then it's a good book, but as a tutor, I would not recommend this book to any child that can't read yet, or beginning readers.

It gets four stars because of my son's perspective, but because of my own opinions, I don't think it's worth five stars.
