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

By	B. Cole (Walla Walla, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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?

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

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

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.
