Another silly book from childhood...

Just as silly as I'd remembered! I do wish there weren't so many negative words in it, though, as I'd like my kids to read it. (Dumb, stupid, etc.)

One nostalgic scene has Milo drinking from the fountain at school and the kids behind him calling, "Save some for the fishes!" I remember thinking that was such a clever line and repeating it every chance I got for years in school. ( )

This is a fun story to read. Really silly things happen to the main character, Milo. If you are looking for an entertaining story, please give this book a try. -ER ( )

I remember being all excited to read this book in third grade, but it turned out to be more of a cautionary tale than a manual. ( )

Wasn't the great for my age group. Kind of easy; doesn't work for a certain age group. ( )
