Reviews

[Eben Holwick · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a funny read. The kiddos and I enjoyed it!

[Josiah · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book follows the original script from the PBS television series closely, while still allowing author Stephen Krensky some freedom in interpreting the actions and motives of the familiar characters. The misspelling of The Brain's name in the newspaper article is just as pricelessly funny as it was in the T.V. episode! :-)

Entertaining and exciting.
