Great Book!

I had read this book as a child, loved it and remembered it. Four years ago when my son was of reading age, I found it used and am very happy to see it re-published. This author is a treasure to be enjoyed by all ages.

ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE CHILDHOOD BOOKS

This was a very entertaining book to read as a child. I would ask my mom to read this one over and over to me. She did the voices so well. It is a good addition to any child's collection of reading books. I loved the way he mixed up all the signs and finally found his glasses in his dog's house.

My favorite childhood book!

I grew up in Taiwan, where there was not much "American" TV, so we read A LOT (we all did - unless you were a fan of Chinese opera)! I don't remember much of what I read, but I do remember Mr. Pine and his mixed up signs. It was my absolute favorite childhood book. I never got tired of reading it, and am sure I must have said "again, again" many times to my parents. Bring back Mr. Pine!!

HAPPY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

This was my favorite book as a child -- I laughed every time my parents read it to me. It was also one of the first books I learned to read on my own. This type of "humor" is just the sort to send my three year old into a silly giggling fit! A must-have for any home library.
