Customer Reviews

One of the best ever

Dumbstruck is a classic. It's so funny, we go back to it every couple of years for a refresher. Will's favorite part is when the suitcase goes, "harumph" and we meet the ostrich, Pierre.

Dumbstruck

This is one of the funniest children's books I have ever read. I would recommend it to adults!I understand that Ms. Pennypacker is about to publish some new material. I hope to see more writting about Ivy and all the other zany crew in her new books. Bravo!

A superb children's book.

Dumbstruck is one of our favorite books. It stretches our imagination and takes us into the best kind of childhood fantasy. Borage and Armilda Clott get what they deserve when their orphans exact their revenge... We can't wait for Sara Pennypacker's next book and hope it's just as good. 10 times better than James and the Giant Peach
