Hilariously Funny
I am a middle schooler who just discovered this book today in my school library. My friend was looking for it in the library and he let me read it... it was insanely funny! it's witty, it's smart, and it's perfect for kids right around our age! No, it's not for little ones, despite the misleading look of it. The illustrations were hilarious. Parents: I wouldn't recommend reading this to the youngsters unless you want to explain what a "sex maniac" is... but it's wonderful for ages 12+! A must-have for any lover of satire and comedy!

I bought this thinking 'Hey, Gary Larson did a kid's book!' Oh, imagine my surprise when I read it! Let's just say the older kids will love it.

A reviewer
This book was an absoulte revolution of a masterpeice. The complex words, the award winning art, all of which entwined to form a book that not only exceeds some of the best sellers of our modern time (Da Vinci Code, Crank, 1984, The Great Pig Escape, Harry Potter) but as well provides a vivid landscape of imagination and opens the doors to an endless possibility for a sequel novel!

Doing the 'right' thing may really be 'wrong'
What a wonderful story for young and old! Gary Larson has certainly expanded his creative imagination for the sake of learning some very valuable lessons about everyday life. It is a wonderful story for all

A 'dirty' story
This story is something to read to little inquisitive children, answers many questions of life and has a suprise ending. Makes a great prose piece for those who need pieces for competition.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha..............
I don't normally like to read, but this book caught my eye. There's laughter on every page, who can't use a little of that! I've passed the book to friends, all have loved it. Due to it being a short book with an entertaining cover, it could look like a book for little children, but it's actually for teens and us older folk. I would highly recommend this book. Oh yeah, as I tell everybody, read the pages before you look at the pictures.:) Have a good laugh!

There's a Hair In My Dirt....
and this book is so funny it'l make your hair fall into the dirt laughing. The format and pictures were wonderful, and Gary Larson's sadistic humor is at its best in this comical masterpiece. This is one for the whole family, or at least ages 12 thru 60, because anyone older might be at a health risk from laughing or the shock at the end.

A Kid's Opinion On A Kids' Book; There's A Hair In My Dirt
I liked 'There's A Hair In My Dirt' because it wasn't what you would exactly expect from something that has to do with worms but I thought it was very cute. The author did a great job in my opinion. I also think that it is a great book for kids and I'm a true expert on that!( I am a kid aged 11.) Parents, it sounds really great if you read with enthusiasm. I am not sure why though. I really liked the characters especially the little worm and the lady who loves animals. Iwon't spoil the end for you though. It's a great book. Go Buy It! :):D:):D:):D (Look sideways to see the little faces expressing how I feel about the book.)

!
It could've been a good book, and very funny, except Larson didn't seem to realize that jokes can be funny without cussing. I was at first drawn to the book by the title, but was dissapointed with it. I'm not sure I'd waste my money on buying it.

It's supposed to be for adults!!!
And it is wonderfully insightful and funny. Comic books are for kids...Larson is for adults who think like kids. I enjoyed every minute.

Super Outstanding Terrific
I think this book is so awesome. It proves anyone can be a kid at heart. Lawson is fantastic, the way he throws in little adult humor quips is wonderful and refreshing. What playful adult doesn't love picture books??
