Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Step aside, Dick and Jane, or the very hilarious Happy Hocky Family might just run you over. Deftly parodying the repetitious, simplistic sentence structure of basal readers with lots! of exclamation points, Smith adds his signature prankishness to a series of banal family escapades: ``I have a balloon. Do you have a balloon? I have a balloon. My balloon is red. If you had a balloon, what color would it be? My balloon is red. POP! I have a string. Do you have a string? I have a string.'' In keeping with the campy tone, the artwork has a stylishly retrograde appeal, featuring smiley-faced stick figures block-printed in primary colors onto beige construction paper-quality pages. Unlike the frenzied intersection of word, image and design that distinguishes the artist's previous works (including The Big Pets and, with author Jon Scieszka, The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales ), the comic impact of this book derives from Smith's deliberate pacing. Each punchline is delivered with a master comedian's timing. Go, Smith, go. All ages. (Sept.)
Children's Literature
Smith's story is quirky parody on a beginning reader. The book requires a certain level of sophistication, but it may prove to be the funniest family book you ever read. There are five smiling, stick-figure people in the Hocky family (though Newton, the dog is only heard from until he becomes crocodile dinner at the zoo). They all have different personalities and all of their fifteen stories are funny. It might look like a book for kids that are starting to read, but it probably will takes at least a third grader to get all the jokes. For example, there's a chores quiz where you identify things that have been through the dryer. Each story is good for a belly laugh. This is a book you will want to enjoy with your friends and family.

    I love this book.

    I love this book. Do you love this book? I love this book. Have you read this book? I have read this book. Seriously, though, Lane Smith's book is fantastic. It brings to mind the classic cartoons - kids laugh at the silly antics, but the adults get all the extra meanings. And beware Cousin Stinky.
