Book Reviews of Smelly Socks
Book Review: Really enjoy the book, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
My 4 yr old loves it and I love the humor in it as well. It's a little too long to completely keep my 2 yr old's attention, but she enjoys it too.
Generally, I really likes Munsch's books, but I have a little issue with the kids' behavior at times. As another reviewer mentioned, in Smelly Socks, the girl is a little demanding in her interactions with her mom and grandpa. It's not extreme and I think you can downplay how she sounds when you read it aloud to your kids.
Anyway, the girl's attitude toward adult family members is my only issue and it's not major, but I thought I'd mention it.
Book Review: Grammy to 9 - 6 girls
Summary: 4 Stars
It's great to find books for girls that give them an alternative to the princess personna that is prevalent even today. I'm glad my granddaughters have choices like this book along with the more traditional "girl" stories that are still much in evidence today.Book Review: Cute book.
Summary: 4 Stars
Funny story. Made me smile as I read it for the first time. My daughter asked if she could have smelly socks too. oops.Book Review: Not my cup of tea I guess
Summary: 2 Stars
I really did not find anything original or humorous in the story. There is a bratty, demanding girl who insists that her grandfather row across the river to buy her socks. When she stubbornly refuses to wash them, people and animals react in an exaggerated manner until her friends take the matter into their hands. The reviews sounded great but I probably will donate this book to the library. No it isn't a princess story but it could still have someone with redeeming qualities.
