Phooey by Marc Rosenthal


Rating: Very Good
Joanna Cotler, 2007, $16.99
ISBN: 978-0060752484
Age Level: 4-8


This cute story has old-fashioned illustrations that remind me of classic comic strips of the past. The story itself features a restless child, a state of mind that we can all relate to, who unknowingly sets off a comedic chain of catastrophes through his frustrated actions. Very simple, yet laugh out loud funny, I recommend this book for children to read alone or even to have read to them during storytime.
