Our two fourth classes were lucky enough to have our principal read Ding Dong Ding Dong aloud to us. We found the book to be very entertaining and inspiring to us as future authors. Margie Palatini's writing style has become a favorite of ours since Piggie Pie and Zoom Broom. In fact, we feel this is her best book yet! Our class would recommend this book to children and adults of all ages!

I think it is extremely funny and is great book for all ages.It even has some jokes for adults.The author always makes it a big laugh.I hope you will read it.

Ding Dong Ding Dong is a very funny book. We like the way Margie Palatini put lots of jokes in the book using plays on words and puns. She also uses lots of alliteration to make it a fun book to read and listen to. Howard Fine's illustrations are terrific. We especially liked the part when the ape climbed the Empire State Building. We won't tell what happened next, but we loved it! Our class recommends this book to children and adults of all ages.

I bought this for my 7 year old grandson who is ape about gorillas, however, he was not ape over this book. The illustrations are super, and the storyline great, if you know what a door-to-door salesperson is, and what Hollywood is, and what cosmetics are. The book required many explanations, which took away from the fun that I, as an adult, got from reading the book. Kinda like watching Toy Story. Takes ya back to the good ole days...but kids just don't have a clue.
