Book Reviews of The Scrambled States of America Talent ShowBook Review: another visit with some of our favorite characters Summary: 5 Stars
Laurie Keller is a genius.
It is not always evident to parents how funny her books will be for kids but my son goes back to them over and over. We've been reading them since about the age of 4 but he really got into them after we saw The Scrambled States of America on DVD. The characters came alive and it changed the book for him until he got old enough to work through it on his own.
The characters are endearing. My son is now 8 and he completely cracks up because he remembers what they did in the last book and how it ties in to the Talent Show book. He loves all the silly speech bubbles scattered throughout. Honestly, he laughs out loud when reading Laurie Keller books.
We also have Do Unto Otters, Open Wide School Tooth Inside, and Arnie the Doughnut which are hits as well. (The Tooth book you can actually use as a diary of when your kid loses their teeth...it's not meant for that but there is a diagram of all the teeth inside the front cover and we just wrote dates next to each tooth.)
