5.0 out of 5 stars
Witty and whimsical delegation of everything kids hate,
By A Customer
This review is from: Meet My Staff (Hardcover)
What a delight! Walter introduces us to Last Place Larry, who obligingly loses at all games and competitions, the Laughers who think all his jokes are funny, the Thing-Finder, the Homework Helper, and all the rest of his staff, who perform unpleasant tasks and provide support in every aspect of his life. Children will adore the deliciously subversive idea of a staff to take all of the imperfections out of life, and will love coming up with their own ideas for additional staff positions. The witty pictures by New Yorker artist Roz Chast perfectly match the understated humor of the text by author Patty Marx. Their staff of Laughers will include anyone who picks up the book. Highly recommended!

What a fun idea - we should all have a staff!,
By
This review is from: Meet My Staff (Hardcover)
I love the concept of this book - and kids will, too. Just think, a staff to do all those things you need to do or don't want to do yourself. Or, like the Laughers, make sure to boost your self-esteem. Grown-ups may like daydreaming about these possibilities, too! This is an imaginative story that makes a great jumping-off place for the reader's creativity.
