Summary: clever and fun book for ages 3 to adult
Comment: When I see that a children's book has been written and illustrated by the same person, I ususally find some weakness in the story line or the visual presentation. Lane Smith has beat the pattern and authored a unique and entertaining book that caused my three children (ages 3, 11, and 12)to laugh out loud. The illustrations are marvelously spare, yet masterfully efficient in portraying the Happy quirky Hocky family. Did I tell you that I laughed out loud as well? I love sophisticated humour for kids; this is a fun book. I hope Lane Smith gives us more Hocky Family stories.

Summary: Wacky Fun for All Ages
Comment: My favorite children's book, The Happy Hocky Family by Lane Smith, blends the simple vocabulary and sparse text of a beginner reader (think "Dick and Jane" sentance construction), bold graphics, and Simpsons-esque dysfunctional humor. Read it with your kids, or read it to yourself...just read it and enjoy!!!

Summary: A recipe for insolence and irony
Comment: This is a funny book as a parody of dopey children's literature. But as a book for actual children, I find it pernicious. If you want your kids to be sassy, caustic and sarcastic, why not just let them watch a lot of television? This book will teach children that it is okay to be obnoxious.
