5.0 out of 5 stars FABULOUS BOOK!!!!!!!!!, 8 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I was given this book as a present to read to my son. I was in love from the first moment I cracked the pages. Great pictures, great rhymes. My son likes to read it again and again. Warning - this book is only for parents who have a sense of humor and love to laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Giggles!!, 3 Sep 1999
By A Customer
I bought this book for my 7 year old niece. We read it together a giggled the whole time. The illistrations are beautiful. They bring each story to life. After we finished giggling we tried to think of other crazy thing that could be in the pockets of "Eliza's Jacket". Kids won't be able to read just one story at a time. They're just to much fun to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully illustrated book, 8 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I was intrigued by the piece on NPR and was pleasantly surprised to see that the illustrations were really striking...as engaging as the poems I heard on the air. The book appeals to silliness in adults and children. Got it for a friend's daughter who enjoys imagining other things that might be in Eliza's jacket pockets.
