Customer Reviews

great value teaching for kids, and funny for parents too

My daughter loves these books, and always asks me to find more. They combine a quirky personality with good solid values, giving food for discussion as well as a chance to laugh together. The language is also quite simple and so my daughter is attempting to read it herslef.Warmly recommended.

This is a hilarious book!

I love reading this book to my son, who just got out of kindergarten. I think it is very funny, and so did my mother when reading it to him one night babysitting! "Yoo Hoo! Poppleton!" calls Cherry Sue over and over, and then the chapter on "The Pill" was especially funny too. My son loves the way I read it making all the different voices and expressions, it really is a joy, grab this one, good for both girls and boys.

5 oinks for Poppleton

This book is wildly funny. My son, who is in kindergarten and just started reading, adored it. He's read all of the Poppleton books now and hope they keep coming. Extremely original and entertaining (Even for Mom!) I think the reviewers missed the boat on this one. Brevity is the soul of wit, and here's proof.

2nd graders just LOVE the Poppleton stories!

We are 2nd graders at the Anna Merritt Elementary School in Lockport, NY. We have read the Poppleton books with Ms. F. Our names are M. and J. Our favorite book is Poppleton. The characters are Poppleton, Fillmore, Hudson, and Cherry Sue. M. liked the part when Poppleton grew the tree. J. liked the part when Poppleton had a cold. We hope Cynthia Rylant writes many more Poppleton books!
