Summary: One Bad Attitude
Comment: This story is about a boy named Spinky and his bad attitude. Every time his family did something he didn't like he would start to sulk and climb into his hammock. His family tries everything to cheer him up. His sister even picks daisies for him but he just throws them on the ground. I think people can really relate to this book. This book is very interesting to read. I like this book a lot.

Summary: Don't bother with this one.
Comment: We threw this book right out. William Steig is very disappointing this time around.
Spinky is a spoilt, undisciplined, overly-sensitive brat. His parents are extremely indulgent and coddle him endlessly. They permit and encourage this sort of tantrum-ish behavior. This book is so pop-psych that it's sickening. Instead of disciplining him and/or simply telling him to get over it, they spoil him endlessly. The story really is quite stupid. My children were not impressed either.
This book encourages this sort of self-centred nonsense that has become all too common in this day and age. I mean, come on, what responsible parent is going to allow their young child to sleep outdoors in the pouring rain overnight? Don't get this one. Even though we will not be using our copy, I don't even plan to give it to anyone, or to recycle it. It's going straight in the trash.
His other books are better. Particularly, Brave Irene and Doctor De Soto.

Summary: Maybe the best kids' book I've ever read
Comment: I am 36 years old and noticed this book, by the author of SHREK, on the shelf at the public library and checked it out for my daughter. I was expecting a good book, but this one just plain blew me away. It's funny, poignant, and has a couple lessons in it that every parent (maybe even every *person*) should keep in mind, about the difference between a sincere apology and an insincere one, and about how carrying a grudge forever is self-defeating.
