4.0 out of 5 stars Another great Larry book, January 7, 2008

By my count this is the Pinkwaters sixth Larry Book plus the Bad Bears. Our family loves these and though the kids might be a little past this reading level the humor is great.
Larry the Polar Bear invites his friends from the zoo over for a sleepover and well... the combination of dry humor and the eyes on the bears, got us laughing. I tried to tell them about the deep meanings I see in these books but the kids just made 'Polar Bear Eyes' and laughed.
We have meet several people who thought these books were not funny, I worry about them. If you liked one of the earlier ones, this one is good, you can feed your habit. If you have never read one, this is a good one, just below Young Larry and Ice Cream Larry. If you did not like an earlier one... why would you be reading this review?

I am a big fan of the Pinkwater Larry series and Sleepover Larry is one of the best! I bought this for my grandson for his 5th birthday. We read it together and talked about sleepovers. Imagine my surprise when he informed me that a wolf and a bunny came to his sleepover!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tells of a polar bear who likes blueberry muffins, ballet, and his lifeguard job, August 15, 2008

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sleepover Larry (Larry Series) (Hardcover)

Frankie Stein comes into the world different from his parents: they are scary, he's cute - and they can't change him. Can Frankie ever become the scary monster they envision? This appeared in 2007 but deserves ongoing mention for a vivid plot which will appeal time and again, especially during the Fall Halloween season. Daniel Pinkwater's SLEEPOVER LARRY tells of a polar bear who likes blueberry muffins, ballet, and his lifeguard job. And he loves his home in a hotel - until he invites his bear friends at the zoo for a sleepover and trouble begins. A hilarious tale, this deserves ongoing recommendation.
