The Hole Book

Rating:
Summary: Okay, so technically this isn't a review, but...
Review: Did you know this book was a childhood favorite of Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel? I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy of it yet, but I think any book that inspired one of the masters of rhyming is worth reading!

Rating:
Summary: Peter Newell verse is witty, sharp and humorous
Review: My parents were given this book when they were children, read it to me when I was a child and now I read it to my children. Children thoroughly enjoy this book but it wasn't until I picked this book up and started to read this as an adult did I fully appreciate why Tom Pott's bullet suddenly stopped when it hit the new brides freshly baked cake. Read this book to your children and yourself, for all of you will enjoy this book tremendously.

Summary: Excellent. It sticks with you for decades.
Review: Of all of the books that I read when I was a child, this is the only one that I truly never forget. I have captivated the attention of my friends and their children by reciting some of the best verses. The rhyme and meter is exquisite, providing an almost musical theme through each episode. The vocabulary is perfect for young people and fun for adults. It utilizes advanced words, while not burying their meaning from beginning readers. The characters lend themselves to creative new voices for each reader to explore. All of theses remarkable qualities, and it maintains a serious lesson for young people, that guns are not for fooling around.
