Rating: Summary: Larson at his best Review: He's done it again. Different style and format, but still Larson at his funniest! A must read for fans everywhere.
Rating: Summary: Excellent book!! Two thumbs up!! Review: Gary Larson has wrote a masterpiece!! This is his best work yet. Not only is it delightfully entertaining, it's educational. The book "There's a Hair In My Dirt!," has all the beautiful illustrations we are used to of his. I recommend this book to everyone who loves nature, or is a fan of Gary Larson's brilliant work. This is the best book Iv'e ever read, you'll never be able to stop laughing!!
Rating: Summary: Wonderfully Funny! Review: We bought this book at the Tourist Information Center at Pt. Reyes in Northern California. It was among books about the ocean, lighthouses, scenic spots in that area, and science. My husband, being a devout Gary Larson fan, had to have it. I'm not a fan but I am a grandma to 5 kids from 10 to 1, so it seemed like a cute book they would like to have read to them, or read themselves. It is such a delightful story as well as being educational. The illustrations are great! We immediately began counting all the people we know who would also enjoy it, adults and kids alike. It will be something we buy in bulk this Christmas. Try it, you'll like it!
Rating: Summary: Best book in the world>universe Review: My dad bought this book when i was nine. It was probably the funniest, most educational books i have read. I mean this book teaches us that just because you love nature you have to understand itbefore you interfear and will ever read. It was so good one day i was reading it in the car and accidentally bought it to school my teacher read it to my whole grade and everyone wanted to borow it from me (even the teachers!) and let me tell you Gary you probable know this but you are really talented P.S.if i ever wrote as long as this for what it is without someone making me you better read the book!
Rating: Summary: Top notch ecological fun... Review: This extremely insightful and riotously funny book is written on multiple levels, and it works for children aged five through 105. Larson hits the mark when we points out that "loving nature is not the same as understanding nature." Though this story is dressed up in a children's picture book format, it contains poignant lessons for children, professional scientists and teachers, and the general population. Be sure to read the introduction by E.O. Wilson. A grand book through and through.
Rating: Summary: Sour. Preachy. Boring. Yech! Review: This is funny? It's mean! Foolish girl goes out, admires nature, and Gary Larson preaches at her. "Flowers are beautiful? Feh! They're just sex maniacs!" It's a one-unfunny-joke diatribe. Not for children, but unfortunately not for adults either. At least I bought it at the remainder table -- I'm sending it to the recycling bin.
Rating: Summary: Funny and realistic Review: It's a very funny fable about how rough the real world is. The book seems like a children story in the beginning but as you read it becomes apparent that it contains valuable lessons for adults.
Rating: Summary: It's Earth Day -- here's the perfect book to celebrate it! Review: This book came out one year ago today, and it couldn't be more appropriate. It's funny, clever, and original -- the perfect book to commemorate Earth Day!
Rating: Summary: FANTASTIC! Review: This book was great because it ewas itelligently funny, not like the stupid "peanuts cartoons" Anyone who thinks thios book is stupid does not have the mental compasity for this all. And P.S.
