Members Reviews:

The first time, I had to read it to her THREE times

I received this book this afternoon and took it up to the fort to read to my granddaughter. I figured it would be a quick read. Instead, her mom fixed dinner while I sat up, and at her request read the book three times.

As a very early reader, she picked out some words, and even sounded out a few she didn't know because they rhymed! She had to look for the pictures of the items he couldn't find, and loved finding the spider in every page!

She then brought the book inside and showed it to her mom!

Like all kids, she isn't a fan of cleaning her room, so I may read this to her a few more times. ;-)

Many thanks to the author who sent me a complimentary autographed copy of the book for my granddaughter. We both loved the story and the pictures. I hope that with wonderful stories like this, one day my granddaughter will be writing her own Amazon reviews.

Edited - she has already had her Mom reread the book to her as well. Methinks it is going on her list of favorites along with Green Eggs and Ham. :-)

A WELL DONE FUNNY BOOK WITH A GOOD LESSON. Both the Little Ones and Adults will enjoy this one.

My goodness - I did relate to this book. "Clean your room." If I heard that when I was a kid once, I heard it a thousand times. "Clean you room." If I said that to my son when he was growing up once, I said it a thousand times. "Clean your room." With four grandsons....well, you do the math! Now I don't know about others, but I still hear this command...from my wife...if reference to my home office. (See my profile picture of the most organized corner of my "den."

This little book by Jami McDaniel Stichter hits the nail on the head. In this case though the cluttered room (which actually looked quite natural to me), got a bit out of hand:

"And this I am vey sorry to say,

They couldn't find him

that horrible day.

So they got some equipment

to clean the junk up,

A bulldozer, a crane, and

a BIG dump truck."

Yes, the poor kid vanished...just simply vanished in the jumble of what was his room! Will they ever find him? What was and is his fate?

The author has used a gentle and engaging rhyme to tell the story of Colton Colin Coil Calloon who would "never ever clean his room!" Colton Colin Coil Calloon was a pretty typical little boy (and girl I might say...remembering my daughter), and kids will relate to this one quickly; as will frustrated parents!

The art work is snappy, busy and uses vivid colors which instantly catch the eye. The illustrations match the wonderful text perfectly. The book overall; text, illustrations and physical appearance has been done in a very professional manner and despite the fact that this is a paper back, the binding is quite stout and the paper is of a grade that should last through many readings.

This little story will fascinate the wee ones and bring a smile to the lips of parents or grandparents.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free for an honest review. An honest review you got.
