5.0 out of 5 stars
Great children's book for subway lovers,
By
This review is from: Jonathan Cleaned Up -- Then He Heard a Sound: or Blackberry Subway Jam (Classic Munsch) (Library Binding)
Silly and fun. Every child will love the story about poor Jonathan who couldn't clean his room thanks to the crowds of people leaving the subway station that was magically connected to it. The illustrations are wonderfully rendered.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Beware of Annikis books,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jonathan Cleaned Up- Then He Heard a Sound: or Blackberry Subway Jam (Annikins) (Paperback)
The book itself came in great condition and in a timely manner so I have to give a high rating. I would have to give myslef only one star for not noticing the "annikis" book. These are little 3x3 inch books and not possible for me to read to the group of daycare children I read to. They love Robert Munsch books and need to see pictures. Guess i can use it if reading to only one child on my lap--but that never happens in a room with 30 children.
4.0 out of 5 stars
I really love Munsch!,
By Ulyyf "Connie" (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jonathan Cleaned Up -- Then He Heard a Sound: or Blackberry Subway Jam (Classic Munsch) (Paperback)
This book has all the classic Munsch traits - an exceedingly improbable situation (subways keep opening up into Jonathan's apartment, making progressively greater and greater messes), useless adults (his mother blames HIM for the impossible mess, and at city hall he's told the routes can't be changed), and a silly solution (he bribes the man who makes the maps to move the station to the mayor's office. LOL!)
It's great. Silly, fun, over-the-top, and no pretense at a moral. Plus, bonus - trains! If you're a fan of Munsch, you know you want this.
