Customer Reviews

Bring back this amazing book!

My mom gave me a copy for Christmas when I was 10 or so, and I completely wore it out. Bedtime Party Box (with the crunchless, slurpless nighttime food and quad turntable) was my favorite "wish I could have it" invention among the hundreds of brilliant scribblings. I know the book inspired me to dream up wacky ideas of my own. My copy resurfaced briefly about 5 years ago, but was tragically mixed in with a big pile of expired junk to be thrown out. Arrrgh! So, if you can get a copy, get it. And now, I leave to continue my search for what must be my favoite book ever...

Good God!

I too have been searching for this book since I was child. I read that book a dozen times at age 8 and loved it more and more with every reading. It was such an insanely bizzare and fascinating book. The first thing I did when I went to the Library of Congress was search for this book, but I did not have time to request it. The last copy I saw was at the Alief Elementary School's library. Again, a wonderful book.

One of the funniest books

I read this book hundreds of times as a kid. I actually tried some of the ideas in it and thought that I could order such things as "Chewies Custom Shirts!" I wish that it was back in print so that I could order it for all my friends. Buy this book if you find it...it's worth it!

This book defined my childhood!

I have been searching for this title since as long as I can remember. It was the one book I took out from the public library every time I went through the door when I was small. I would consistently renew and renew it just so I could read it again and again. I think I enjoyed it so much because it was so very unlike other childrens' books - irreverent, intelligent, and creative, while encouraging me to build those very qualities. Anyway, I hope I can get a copy to share with my kids before all the children's books become mindless carbon copies.
