Review Summaries
"This is a delightful book which you will definitely enjoy reading to and with your child. My second grader loved this book and as he was reading it to me, he read was laughing and commenting on the pictures throughout the book! The story is cute and nonsensical about fungus taking over and eating the school! The artist, David Catrow did a wonderful job as his illustrations are most colorful, exagerrated, and funny! They are sure to keep your interst as well as your child's interest as you both explore each and every page. As a parent I loved this book! This book is a definite winner and I thoroughly recommend it! ! It is sure to capture your child's imagination and have you chuckling as well!! "
