Customer Reviews

This should be reprinted!

I was sorry to see that this was out of print. In fact I just read it tonight to my youngest child. This book has been a favorite of all three of my kids! Mark Teague is terrific. This book is fast paced and easy enough for even the youngest child to understand. The illustrations are pure hillarity! I also recommend "The Secret Shortcut" and "The Lost and Found".

Mark Teague is the best!

We have a number of books by Mark Teague, and this is our favorite. We too checked it out from the library, and liked it so much that we had to buy our own copy. The paintings are very kinetic and the story is charming. I especially liked the kids' Secret Plan #2 to impress the babysittter!

a charming lesson in testing limits

We originally checked this book out from the library and decided to add it to our library. The illustrations are wonderful and keep the kids very interested from page to page. The message is very clear and creatively presented about trying to push someones buttons and the results of getting no reaction. Our small children found it easy to follow and remember the story.
