Another favorite of mine,
By
This review is from: Guys from Space (Paperback)
I am in college and my friends and I gather 'round on Saturday nights to read this book. Guys From Space is classic Pinkwater at its best. I only regret that I did not get a hardcover version. Some of the funniest things in this book are the talking rock, the plastic fish and the mother (She's just like mine!) When the kid in the story comes back from another planet and tells his mother about it, the first thing she says is, "Why do you have the dog's water bowl on your head?" The brilliant illustrations complement the story, as only a Pinkwater can. Guys From Space makes me laugh just thinking about it.

Read This to your Kids When their Other Books Bore You!,
By Peter L. Jaeger (london, england United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guys from Space (Paperback)
A perfect bedtime story. Clever, humourous, rhythmically pleasing, the right length, and truly fun to read aloud. My 4-year-old is never disappointed when we read this one, and even the 8-year-old and the 11-year-old wander in to listen. I commune with the author's sense of humour -- though I must confess I found his interview on this website pretty vapid. The book, however, is a classic and I'd buy a hardcover copy anytime.

One of our all-time favorites,
By
This review is from: GUYS FROM SPACE (Hardcover)
Our children are 10 and almost 4. We started reading this book to our older child when he was about 3, and we're still reading it as a regular bedtime story to our children. None of us tires of it. We have probably over a hundred children's books in our home, and this one rises to the top. When I noticed that this book was out of print, I decided to write the review hoping that it may help to influence someone to re-print it. Thank you, Daniel Pinkwater.
