5.0 out of 5 stars More than a mere reference guide for proper social etiquette, 4 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: What Do You Say, Dear? (Young Scott Book) (Library Binding)
Years after reading this book from cover to cover, over and over again as a child, I still smile when I think of the appropriate response to Bad Bart's inquiry "Would you like me to blow a hole in your head?" (A polite smile, and a simple "no, thank you!" as you ride off into the sunset...) The author presents one scenario after another of children in adult "dress up" trying on the roles of appropriate adult interaction in a surreal world of bad guys, bears, and top-hatted talking alligators, made even more interesting by the eccentric behaviors of the "adults" (walking backwards downtown, landing airplanes in parlors, and so forth). Somehow, it all made hilarious, yet deep and satisfying sense to me when I was a little girl. Sendak's illustrations are half the fun!

2.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, funny book marred by sadistic violence, 23 Jul 1999
By A Customer
What do you do, dear, when you're reading an otherwise delightful book to your child and on one page there's a cowboy threatening to blow a hole in the child's head?

I substituted a less violent idea -- demonstrate some fancy target-shooting. The book was first released in 1958, and I know people that long ago generally had different attitudes towards violence than we do today. I wish it had been updated!

I was really shocked, I'm very grateful that my 4-year-old son didn't ask me to explain why I didn't read the words exactly as they were written on the page! The book is rated for early readers, so BEWARE! if you buy it, be prepared to sit down and explain what's wrong and why it's wrong.
