I thought this book was so much fun--and with a good message, too! I really, really enjoyed it. I think it's such a fanciful portrayal of how children pick up bad words and somehow manage to utter them in the most awkward of times--without really even premeditating it, they just slip out. I thought it was...

Ezra illustrated an old Nursery poem. I simply love the rhyming verse. Each page is an animal parent with a number of offspring that goes up from 1 to 10 and the rhyme is consistent and it really drives a rhythm home. It’s pretty cool.
The artwork is nice, but I like his later books with his character...

A great book! It's all in the illustration. If you just read it out loud, it would be incredibly boring. But if you look at the pictures, it's amazing. Perhaps, as an illustrator, I'm biased. But this is a REALLY great book.
