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.

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.

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).

Great fun for the whole family!
This was purchased for my nine-year old son, and he absolutely loves it. But it also gets used as a "family project" of sorts, and we all take turns filling in blanks. Read more
