5.0 out of 5 stars iT WILL AMUSE 99%, April 1, 2000

This review is from: There Is a Carrot in My Ear and Other Noodle Tales (Paperback)

What a cleverly written children's picture book. Parents andteachers will enjoy reading this to their children as it will amuseand get children interested in reading. Children will want it read to them over and over again, until of course they gather interest in reading and read it themselves. My little brother didn't want to or wasn't interested in reading, until he picked up a copy of THERES A CARROT IN MY EAR!

The humor of this one escapes the understanding of a 5 year old. Would not recommend for a 5-6 year old.
