5.0 out of 5 starsPssst!
By Dan on September 29, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsMy four-year-old twins think this book is "awesome"!
By A on July 30, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I love any book that encourages my children to love reading, and this is one of those books. I purchased the book after my four-year-old twins came home from preschool raving about it. They had read it in class and were still talking about it hours later. It is nicely illustrated and the concept and some of the lines are funny. My kids think it's "awesome"!

5.0 out of 5 starsIt's a unique, hilarious story highly recommended for any collection.
By Midwest Book Review on November 4, 2007
Format: 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.

5.0 out of 5 starsZoo picture book with an unexpected twist
By M. Heiss on September 24, 2010
Format: 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.

5.0 out of 5 starsNot many words within. More for older children.
By Donald A. Prentiss on January 12, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The illustrations are beautiful. Rex's artwork is always in perfect harmony with the story he is telling. In this book, there's a lack of words, so you wouldn't be reading it to a young child and I would say it is more for a child who can already read on their own and can just sit back and appreciate the fun tale Rex weaves with illustration.

4.0 out of 5 starsA Fun book
By Katherine D on May 28, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
They storyline doesn't make a ton of sense but a child wouldn't care and the Illustrations are fantastically fun. The rich illustration on the last page is especially great to play an impromptu game of "I Spy."

5.0 out of 5 starsSomething Different
By jbirdvahey on October 10, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
If your kids "get it" and have a slightly different sense of humor (and intelligence) but crave just the right amount of silly - this is a great book. Adam Rex thinks and approaches literature a bit differently than others and has a very sarcastic sense of humor that our family adores. The illustrations alone are almost always worth a purchase and this book is no exception. If you are looking for a cutesy, feel good, easy read - this isn't it. If you're looking for something interesting and humorous, even if it may require a bit of effort to explain to your children at first, this is a fabulous book.

5.0 out of 5 starsAmazing book, for all ages.
By Mr. Dill on January 3, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Excellent book! This is my 2 year old's favorite by far. The story is simple, but entertaining. And, the artwork alone is worth owning the book. It's been read so much that we ordered a second book to replace the first tape repaired copy we have.
