Summary: Very Clever Kafka Adoption for Kids
Comment: This is a very clever book, which my 6 year old son loves and which I found laugh-out-loud funny myself. I bought it at holiday time after seeing it on an Amazon recommended list for kids, and we weren't disappointed.
Gregory Sampson (like Kafka's Gregor Samsa, get it?) is a 2nd grader who wakes up and is surpried to learn that he has transformed into a giant beetle. He tries telling his parents, but they won't listen to him - his mom says "You were always our little bug-a-boo dear." He is forced to improvise by cutting extra holes in his shirt to accomodate his extra arms (or are they legs he wonders?), and he uses his extra appendages to score in soccer. All in all, this is a charming story which explores some of the themes of alienation and fright that Kafka brilliantly explores in The Metamorphosis, but with a light, humorous touch. Kids will love it, and you will enjoy reading it to them. I wish I could say the same for all childrens' books.
