Review
"Yea! School is all over and Summer's begun." The first page of this intriguingly illustrated picture book sums up the theme. Daniel Skalak has created a whimsical book about enjoying the summer. Boldly colored lizard-like monsters are shown doing a variety of things like making breakfast of ice cream and a whole chocolate cake. The rhyming text and fun pictures make this a good book for sharing as a read-aloud or creating a writing assignment about summer activities. It will be sure to tickle young readers' funny bones. Recommended. --Library Media Connection, August/September 2007
All summer's fun and Daniel Skalak proves it in this playful romp through a summer loaded with all the activities boys and many girls love best. From belly flops at the pool to nights spent camping in a tent with all the requisite flashlights, snacks, and ghost stories, summer is very much fun in All Summer's Fun. Although the main character in this pack of monsterish boys sometimes fears that they've done just about everything fun that's possible, he and his friends manage to keep finding more to do. It appears that as school starts they'll manage to find fun during the school year, too. Skalak's monsterish illustrations with each of the boys sporting tiny horns and two lower teeth jutting above their lower lips are perfect portraits of the true nature of little boys as merry little monsters just out to have fun. All Summer's Fun is a perfect read for dispirited kids who think they' ve run out of things to do during a long hot summer. Whether it's playing pirate or cowboy, setting up a tent in the backyard, or just playing with their food, their imaginations will be sparked and soon their summer will again be all fun. --ChildrensPictureBook.info Review (Feb. 2007)

Amazing and Beautiful Children's Book,
By
This review is from: All Summer's Fun (Hardcover)
The story is great for children of all ages that are in school. The illustrations are absolutely beauiful and so full of life. The characters are so fun that I want to see them grow up in more books every year. A book that everyone with children that are starting school should own. I loved it!!

Excellent Children's Book,

This review is from: All Summer's Fun (Hardcover)
This is an excellent children's book. The rhyming prose is in a light hearted Dr. Suess style. The illustrations show how much fun the kids are having using little more than their imagination. It's what summers used to be about: going outside, playing with friends, making up things to do. The little people get in all sorts of mischief and fun. It's also a good choice for children learning to read. It's a delight when I ask them what they want to read that night and they say "All Summer's Fun, Daddy!"
5.0 out of 5 stars
