Oswald (Oswald)

Rating:
Summary: If it's like the TV show on Nickelodeon...it's great!
Review: I have not read this book, but the TV show (starring same Octopus and airing on the cable channel Nickelodeon) is wonderful. It is very gentle and promotes good values. Most importantly, it is not drawn in that weird "hurky-jerky" style that so many cartoons are drawn in today. My kids love the show, and will probably love this book after it arrives. PS to the previous reviewer, a CD of music from the show is available on the nickjr.com website. An interesting note: Fred Savage (from the Wonder Years) is the voice of Oswald, and other notables are: Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley as the Penguin, Lorraine Newman, Mac Davis, and Tony Orlando as other characters. The show is great, check it out!!

Summary: Meet Oswald!
Review: My children love the show and so I bought this book for them. They love it. It is repeative as Oswald keeps meeting more and more neighbors in Big City. This type of repeative reading is good for young children. Funny sounds and friendly characters adds to the charm of this tale of how Oswald meets all of his friends.

Summary: Very nice
Review: The illustration style and plot is well done. I only wish I could have some of that quaint music from the TV series included herein.
