Pssst!, September 29, 2007
This review is from: Pssst! (Hardcover)
Mr. Rex has the unique ability to entertain not only his target audience, children, but also the next couple of generations (up, of course). My entire family "gets a kick" out of his incredible drawings and use of color, as well as the story lines and choice of words and humorous, tounge in cheek prose. I have all of his books to date (and will continue to purchase each new one as he publishes them). Thanks, Adam.

It's a unique, hilarious story highly recommended for any collection., November 4, 2007
This review is from: Pssst! (Hardcover)
Adam Rex's PSST! tells of a bunch of animals who've been cooped up too long at the zoo. So when a little boy with capable hands happens along, he finds each exhibit wishes him to bring them something special. It's a unique, hilarious story highly recommended for any collection.

Zoo picture book with an unexpected twist, September 24, 2010
This review is from: Pssst! (Hardcover)
Completely creative. This book works as a picture book for little kids, and ALSO (this is very important for families where the reading levels are a wide range) it works as a comic-book type story, and it is filled with puns and funny details. You have to see it to believe it - the illustrations are dynamite. I love:
+ the zoo animals cruising around in their little free-range hamster balls
+ elderly Batman
+ rats eat trash and goats eat trash but pandas eat bamboo
+ the voice bubbles coming out of people (and animals, and birds)
+ "All T-shirts Great and Small,"
+ the "hilly goats bluff"
+ the map on the endpapers
+ corncorncorncorncorncorn fuelfuelfuel.... (!)
+ the high quality illustrations - surprises everywhere you look
Savor every page! It is difficult to think of another picture book that works on so many levels and is FUNNY! And with humor that appeals to big kids and little kids and parents. Even the "humor-free" acknowledgment page is worth a read.
Big accomplishment - get this one.
