Grandkids let us revisit the books we hid from their parents because we could NOT BEAR to read those books one more time. My son and I had a deal: If I was an overly grumpy Mom - and we both had to agree that that was the case - I had to read
Little Monster's Word Book by Mercer Mayer. And he had me read the CIP info on the back of the title page, the ISBN on the back of the book and any print he could find. I loved the book a lot, just not every night for months on end. Hence the arrangement. ( I would never choose a book I personally disliked for this routine.
Animal Crackers - a book of animal jokes - was another Grumpy Mom book. I have a copy in the attic, just waiting for the right moment.)
I never hid this book by Mercer Mayer;
Professor Wormbog in Search for the Zipperump-a-zoo. I enjoyed the story, the fun-filled illustrations and the ending. So did my boy, and now my grandchild loves this book, too.
Enjoy!
Here is a video the author/illustrator made in 2007.
