About the Author
Roger Price and Leonard Stern created Mad Libs in the 1950s and the series has been a favorite among kids of all ages ever since. Although Roger Price passed away in 1990, Leonard Stern keeps the tradition alive by writing new Mad Libs all the time.
Roger Price and Leonard Stern are both well known for their comedy writing. In the 1950s Roger Price created and developed cartoons called Droodles, which were turned into a television show. Before that Price worked with Bob Hope on a newspaper humor column, and he even appeared on Broadway in Tickets, Please!
Leonard Stern has an equally colorful and varied history. Before co-founding Price Stern Sloan with Roger Price (Sloan came later), Stern was a successful television writer. In addition to his creative involvement with over twenty television series and over ten motion pictures, Stern worked with Jackie Gleason in New York writing the Honeymooners. He also wrote for the Phil Silvers Show, The Steve Allen Show, and wrote and produced the original Get Smart television series. Recently, Stern published A Martian Wouldn't Say That, which compiled weird and wacky memos written by people in the entertainment industry. Currently, Stern serves as a senior vice president of Price Stern Sloan, where he still writes those hilarious Mad Libs.

This review is from: Best of Mad Libs (Paperback)
This book is a collection of Mad Libs taken from Price and Stern's other Mad Libs books like, "Off the Wall Mad Libs," "Dinosaur Mad Libs," and "Pirates Mad Libs."
This collection includes a History of Mad Libs by Stern and six Biography Mad Libs filled out celebrities, starring Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway. This is a great addition to any word game collection.

Call it a Volume of Mad Libs,

This review is from: Best of Mad Libs (Paperback)
My daughter got this as a Christmas gift and LOVES it! She flies through the standard sized Mad Libs so this will really keep her busy for a while. The book is very thick and must contain practically all that were ever made. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys Mad Libs and the price can't be beat.

Mad Libs - to Eternity,
By
This review is from: Best of Mad Libs (Paperback)
What's more fun than being a kid doing Mad Libs at an all-girl sleepover? Being a (slightly inebriated,) middle aged, summer-camp nostalgic doing them at an all-girl sleepover. Though it's harder to come up with words sometimes (adverbs modify VERBS, people), both due to the inebriation and the lack of routine grammar quizzes to keep you current on that stuff, the results remain hilarious. Thank you Mad Libs for giving me some fond memories (both old and new).
