A Is for AARRGH!

Rating:
Summary: Clever enough to enjoy with your kids!
Review: I am in the habit of previewing my 10-year-old's reading, because he can read beyond his grade level, and I don't want him getting into inappropriate material. As I read this book, I chuckled and chuckled -- and then listened to him squeal and hoot with laughter as he read it!
There's more to this book than humor, though. It gets at some pretty profound concepts -- the purposes and functions of language, the origin of grammar, the development of religion and of politics, and the birth of written language. Not bad for a piece of witty juvenile literature, huh?
I've already checked out William J. Brooke's other books from the library, and I'm looking forward to reading them with my son. I sincerely hope that Mr. Brooke follows _A is for AARRGH!_ with other books in a similar vein.

Summary: Great Plot
Review: I really liked this book because it was exciting and left me cliff hanging every time I put it down. My favorite part was when Drog came back with "Greenbacks" and nobody really knew what they were. The reason I gave this five stars is because it had a great plot. Also, I liked that they had villages and it was set back in the time of Cave Men. I would reccommend this book to anyone who enjoys action and adventure. Reviewed by Sam McEntee

Summary: A hysterically funny story
Review: The first time I read this story, I loved it and got it from the library again and again. It has become my favorite book, and William J. Brooke has become one of my favorite authors. I love his creative and original ideas of how words were invented! I think it would get lots of kids to enjoy reading because it's easy to understand, it's exciting, and it's HILARIOUS! It's great for both boys and girls, and I'm sure even adults would love it too! I told my mom one of the parts, and she couldn't stop laughing.Now she can't wait to read it herself!
