Gets you thinking and having fun for the whole family

This book like the other one "CDB" is a jewel. A copy need to be sent to the president, G. Bush to increase his reading level, articulation, and thinking skills..lol :) It will take the place of board games and bridge the communication gap with your kids of all ages. The only down side is there isn't an answer page to confirm some of the more dificult rebus-pictures. Other than that, I highly recommend it to everyone. I jst lv et. :)

Very enjoyable!

My four children have enjoyed this book , as well as CDB. I brought both books in to my son's 4th grade "Reading Day" and the whole class participated in the "puzzle-solving" text. They had so much fun with both books!! I highly recommend these books for a fun and interactive read!

1 4 D E-G-S

If you enjoy struggling - and moaning at the punning clues - with the NYT crossword, you'll have a good time and a quick read, one that you'll want to repeat when feeling low. I brought my copy to the office; and am ordering more as gifts for twisted minds. FYI, the caption in question says to me, "Everyone here is dippy."

A wonderful book, by no means only for ages 9 - 12

Although this is a companion to the equally clever " CDB", by the same author, this book, with its sophisticated phrases and illustrations, is even funnier and more impressive to grown-up readers. To rate it for "Readers 9 - 12" does it a disservice. It is a delight for any age.

D-Q-R should be D Q-R for "the cure"...TWO words, not one!!!

In the on-line review of Wm. Steig's "CDC" the reviewer should know better that "the cure" in William Steig's rendition would be represented by "D Q-R"....shame on you. I am a huge fan of this clever book and love the corresponding pictures! What a blast! They have stood the test of time, I purchased "CDB"in 1969 when I was in jr. high and now as a parent with 5 children of my own, we still have a great time with the books!
