This review is from: You Never Sausage Love (It Could Be Verse) (Library Binding)
I have always thought that the best children's books really appeal to adults as much as -- if not more than -- kids.
Such is the case with "You Never Sausage (read: "saw such") Love" by Brian P. Cleary. This is not to say that kids will not enjoy them; the rhyming verse and eye-catching illustrations are more than enough to hold their attention. Some of the puns, however, might prove to be a bit esoteric for the average child.
Why do I say this? Although I somewhat hesitate to say so, it's because I had to think long and hard before I understood some of them myself. Granted, I am far from a rocket scientist, but I would like to think that I have an IQ a bit higher than the average fourth grader.
Does this mean the book is too difficult for kids? Quite the contrary -- the author himself has said that some of his best early learning experiences came from reading things that his parents had to explain to him.
So go ahead and buy it for the kids. Just be prepared to do a lot of explaining
