Jake's Review: This was a funny story about a kid who finally gets
his own room and than his mom makes him share it with his relatives
(parent's are always changing their minds). I didn't like it as
much as David's Father or some of his other stories, but it was
still ok. The pictures are the best part of the book. They are
really funny -- I think even Jesse would like to look at the
pictures - if we could maybe sit on him or something so he stays
still.

Mom's Review: One of my favorite things about Munsch's books (Well,
the ones with Martchenko) is the sheer delight at looking at every
little detail in the illustrations. They are so much fun and you
see something new every-time you look at them. This is a another
fun Munsch book that would be perfect for story-time, especially
with an enthusiastic Teacher/Librarian/Parent. Actually I find I
enjoy Munsch books more when I read them aloud with some creative
voices. I also recommend you listen to the author read his books
aloud, as he is truly gifted storyteller. I found the beginning of
the story a little flat, but it did pick up 4 pages in and than I
really enjoyed it. The end also made me giggle out loud. Not his
best, but still a fun story that hopefully one day Jesse will let
me read aloud to him. Oh yeah, and I also loved the line about the
mailman -- that was awesome.
