Summary: A Family Favorite
Comment: I'm buying a copy for each of my kids to save for them when they're grown. This book has provided wonderful hours of reading and precious fits of laughter. It's also been an avenue to open conversations about acceptable behavior. I disagree with the review that it teaches children disrespectful behavior, actually I teach my children acceptable behavior and to discern when they are out of line. Thomas is definitely a way for them to bring that lesson home, in a hilarious way! Everyone needs to laugh and I love that this book appeals to the very young (my two year old loves to say no! with Thomas)and to the very old (my grandma read it to the kids the other night and cackled along with them!). Lighten up and enjoy life! That's the message of Munsch!

Summary: Great Laughs!
Comment: Young readers and preschoolers love irony as much as adults - that's what the best humor is based upon. Munsch and Martchenko excel in bringing that irony to the printed page in this book. Exageration is at its best as Thomas asserts his independence, and the rhythm of language pairs beautifully with the witty illustrations to keep kids and adults laughing throughout. My kids have treasured this book since it first landed at our house several years ago. As a child psychiatrist, I find it to be a great ice breaker when working with my young patients. It's a great book for breaking out the grins!

Summary: spend your money elsewhere
Comment: As a parent, this is certainly not a book that I want to read to my kids or one that I want them to read. In the book, Thomas is disrespectful to his mother, teacher and principal. Each adult fights with Thomas trying to get his snowsuit on and loses. In an attempt at being funny, Munsch undermines values that I want to build in my kids. I don't want the time that I spend reading to my kids and the time my kids spend reading will be spent teaching them to be disrespectful and disobedient. Nor do I want them thinking that this is or should be amusing to them. If you still want to read a copy of this book, I know where you can get a copy very cheap, my garbage can!
