A book about a boy underestimating his mom's role as a discipline and a caretaker. This boy has no name, but is hysterical as the boy will do about anything an "average" boy will do like inviting and comes over to drink coke. He wants to live his life and not have to even take care of his bodily needs like brushing his teeth of washing his face. A very good book for early childhood kids. I wold probably read this book t a class if I had the opportunity to. very amusing. ( )

But I Want To! What a book. This is what I feel every parent and teacher face each and every day. Children who want to do what they want and not what is asked of them. But that is what being a kid is all about, not doing what you're supposed to. I really enjoyed this book and I think it is a book that if you read it to your class, they would respond well. The book itself is pretty simple, with short, quick sentences that get straight to the point. In the end, the young boy who is the main character, and the mother get along and come to an agreement as most parents and children do. ( )

This story is about a baby boy who wants to do anything he wants. His plan to be able to do so is to send is mom to outer space. Then once she is gone he will do all kinds of things that he know he will get in trouble for. In the end he misses his mom a little and decides if he ever sends her away again he will come with her.
