5.0 out of 5 stars Be careful what you wish for ... it might turn into cheese!, April 25, 2007

mamareadssomuch "mamareadssomuch" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scuttle's Big Wish (Hardcover)

Scuttles LOVES cheese. He saves a golden beetle from a spider's web and in turn is granted any wish from the beeter. Scuttles wishes for cheese but his wish becomes too big for him to handle. Cute story and wonderful illustrations.

This review is from: Scuttle's Big Wish (Hardcover)

I read this book to my daughter who is only 6 months old and she actually paid attention to me due to all the great pictures. Also my 6 year old sister-in-law couldn't wait to read it when i gave it to her for x-mas.

1.0 out of 5 stars They'll have to find someone else to write the sequel., February 19, 2009

M. Jones (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Scuttle's Big Wish (Hardcover)

This sad little book was a great disappointment to me and my six-year-old. We opened it expecting gratuitous primate-on-cop violence but all we got was a poorly drawn mouse cartoon with a hackneyed plot and insipid characterization. I think 'Steamboat Willy' and 'If You Give a Mouse a Cookie...' had this area pretty well covered. Apparently not.
'Scuttle' is probably more fun than a colonoscopy, but only marginally so. And speaking of sinking ships, how about Mr. Delonas' editorial work?
