    Not recomended by Calif. Dad

    I'm not sure whom these stories are written for, but not me and my 6 year old son. They (the 3 of them that were randomly chosen) are not interesting, funny or insightful. I am deleting it.

    Lacking...

    Each story had a great setup but failed to effectively close the tale.

    If you are looking for an entertaining book of short stories, Move Along!

    A couple of recomendations that trump this collection are the

    Weenie series by David Lubar
    and
    M is for Magic by Neil Gaiman

    Okay

    These stories are okay but not very well written so they are very hard to understand. I most likely would not waste my timw and memory space if i could do it over again

    Good book

    If you like funny UNrealistic stories you should get this book. I liked it and I am in fifth grade. Two of the stories you might not want to read to younger kids though. They are both about ghosts. All in all,YOU SHOULD GET THE BOOK!!!!!! :)
