 I laughed out loud...in public...by myself! January 27, 2008
A. Budde-Sung (Honolulu, HI USA)
This book made me laugh out loud! That wouldn't have been such a big deal, but the book made me laugh out loud when I was in a shopping mall food court, reading at a table all by myself, and I attracted more than my fair share of attention when I started laughing so hard that I nearly slid out of my seat! When you're with a group of people and you start laughing that hard, people assume you're just having fun with friends. When you're by yourself, reading a book, and you laugh that hard, people seem to assume that you are mentally unbalanced. Luckily, that doesn't bother me, especially when it comes to reading Dave Barry! I have always loved his nonfiction books and his newspaper columns, but have generally been less impressed with his attempts at fiction. However, this book converted me to Barry fiction, and I only hope he'll come out with more books like this in the future.
Loved it! December 18, 2007
Susan Cusack
This is a great Christmas book. If you have ever loved a dog or were in a Christmas pageant in the 60's and if you can see the humor potential in bat poop you will probably enjoy this little book.
 Dave Barry's Christmas Special May 14, 2007
Leona Schlesna (Naples, Fl.)
This book strays away from the typical Barry humor. Instead it focuses on the improbable, which makes it a very good story to read to the little ones. It will keep children's attention, and it is not very long. "Walter" seems to be based on some part of Dave Barry's childhood in Armonk, NY.
 As deep as thin ice May 12, 2007

We read this for a men-women church book club Chirstmas time selection. The women seemed to like it. It's cute, uninformative, with no surpirses, and all the depth of a toy bunny.
 Nice Story March 18, 2007
C. Bullis (South Carolina)
This was a very nice, short story for the holiday season. It was not as funny as I expected based on the reviews I'd read and my knowledge of Dave Barry.
