After stumbling upon some old books from my childhood, I decided to read them again for old times sake.
I was always a big fan of The Addams Family. Their kooky lifestyle was one of my favorite obsessions as a kid. I watched the movies over and over again and even still jam out to Addams Groove by MC Hammer! So as you can imagine, it was only appropriate that when my elementary school was having their RIF book sales, I snagged this one up as well as a poster of Mr. Hammer for my bedroom wall and a book of what we know today as dad jokes.
Only 90 pages long and including stills from the movie, I flew through this sucker, smiling and reminiscing throughout it all. I bet it was probably my 15th time reading this book (first time in 20+ years), but it was still fun and enjoyable and I stand by my rating of four stars!!
