Customer Reviews

Great book for the letter Q

As a kindergarten teacher I am always on the look out for great literature selections that I can use as a new letter of the alphabet is introduced. My collection of books for the letter Q is quite small. However, this book is a great addition to my Q file! The students love the black and white shadows as they try to figure out just what this little boy has swallowed!

LOVE Remy Charlip

My four year old daughter loves this book. We have read it every night for the past three weeks and I don't see her growing tired of it yet. Anything that Remy Charlip does is a gem!

Childhood memories

When I was a small child back in the late sixties, early seventies, my this was probably my favorite book in the whole world. When read in very expressive voices, it adds to the wonderful illustrations in this book. I still have my original copy from when I was a child, and hold it close to my heart. It thrills me to know that perhaps another generation will be exposed to this book, and its next phase begins.

An appreciated encore printing

I remember these Victorian silhouette illustrations on bold backgrounds from when I was young, and when we found it recently at the library I discovered that it has as much appeal to my four year old today as it did (and still does) to me. The objects the doctor extracts from a young boy's dramatically bloated stomach get progressively more outrageous as they go along, and the story ends with a funny twist. I'm delighted to find this 1966 Berkeley, CA classic available again in print.
