Title: You get to say KER-PUFFLE…3 times!
Review: My three year old is both terrified and obsessed with this story! Bill Peet is one of my all time favorites, and slowly but surely I am trying to collect them all. I bought this one for my 8 year old, but it is the little guys who loves it. Something about that Owl-Eyed Ogre…..he is totally captivated. He is the type of child to ask me to read book after book, but rarely the same one again right away, but this one he BEGS me to read again as soon as it is done. He covers his eyes with his blankey when the scary parts come up, peeking just enough. I can’t help myself from emphasizing the really dramatic parts, just to really get him going! Bill Peet is obviously a gifted man who understands children and writes books that are easy and fun to read. I wonder if he read his books out loud before finalizing them?? They are all so well written, whether in rhyme or not(this one is not), and have such a natural flow to them. They are easy to get into, and just such a pleasure to read. After refusing to read this one out loud AGAIN last night, my son picked out a new popular book, “Dragons Love Tacos,” which I really don’t care for to begin with, but as a follow up to Peet’s Clyde, it really looked and sounded lame and downright pathetic! It really made me appreciate this book even more! There are plenty of cute, catchy popular new books on the market, and don’t get me wrong we do have and love many of them, but there is something about a classic tale like this, moral and eloquent as all Peet’s books are, full of magic and wonder. Like a modern but timeless fairytale….complete with silly sound effects:)

Title: Great kids story they will love.
Review: Bill Peet is one of my favorite kids book authors. I read these as a kid, got them for my kids, nieces and nephews and have put away a set for for my grandchildren someday. The stories and characters are always well designed and draw kids in. The illustrations are bright and colorful while still being somewhat simplistic giving them a lovable cartoon appearance. The stories have great moral and life lessons told in a fun way. These stories have stood the test of time and have been loved by many in my family

Title: creative, imaginative and fun!
Review: as a grandmother, i have owned this book – now three times. my children loved it so much that my son took it to college with him to always feel the happiness we had when reading it together. i still own a copy and just bought a book for my grandson. i have a picture on my wall of my daughter reading it to my grandson. he frequently says :kerpuffle when things go the way he wants them to. it is a wonderful story of overcoming things that you may not know you can do and then find out then you certainly can! great fantasy and learning book!

Review: Bill Peet is my favorite author of picture books for 4 and up. COWARDLY CLYDE is an adventure story with lots of humor and, as usual with Mr. Peet, a good lesson, this one about true bravery. Clyde surprises himself and saves the day, learning that when push comes to shove, he has resources he hadn’t expected. Super story with delightful illustrations.

Review: Finally, a good children’s book! More than 5 word story, has a hero, a bad guy, not everybody is friends at the end, very refreshing to have a story like this. I will be buying more Bill Peet books shortly.
