Customer Reviews

Great Book - stirs the imagination.

My five and six year old girls love this book. We refer to it often in conversation, my girls will say, "That was bad idea number 101", when they do something that doesn't turn out quite right. We don't just read this book, every page has a learning opportunity, "what do you think happened here, and why is that, what will happen next ..." so it's not just a book, it's about choices and consquences. THANKS so much for this book, it has taught my girls many life lessons without having to experience them first hand!

Great read aloud!

As a 6th grade teacher whose students love picture books (though they wouldn't admit it), this is a great read aloud. The kids laughed and laughed and couldn't wait to create their own "bad ideas". Great choice for any age!

Everyone has Bad Ideas

I love this book! It reminds me of growing up in a house with three little brothers. Every family has their own memories of bad ideas. Laura Huliska-Beith tells of hers with flair and creativity. The illustrations are colorful and rich in texture. There is something new to laugh about every time I read it. I'm buying a copy for each of my brothers!
