3.0 out of 5 stars True to the books it parodies December 23, 2011

By Angie G

We have a lot of the books from the original series: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, a Moose a Cupcake, and a Pig a Pancake so the continuous sequence style of this book I totally get. It is a very true to the style it parodies. However I wasn't that into where the story went in this book. The first few pages were pretty funny especially if you know the original books but after that it went too much on a tangent to me. Still the idea was still kind of cool to have an adult "children's" book anyway.

3.0 out of 5 stars great for a laugh, kind of boring storyline December 15, 2011

I love gag books like this one. Go the F*** to Sleep, was hilarious. I thought this book would follow suit in the funny department, however the story line was weak and not as funny as I thought it was going to be. The illustrations are great though.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea, Not So Great Execution April 19, 2012

By Thomas Magnum HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

The title of the book is hilarious and it's what grabbed my attention. It is a great premise parodying the children's books written in the same style, but after the initial joke, the book wears thin pretty quickly.
