Rating:  Summary: More great stuff from Nike/Lil Penny Review: I am a basketball fan and happen to work around the entertainment business and know a friend who knows Stacey Wall, and that guy is a genus! His Little Penny stories will crack you up, I guarantee. For those of you familar with advertising, Stacey also did the NIKE ads with the FUN POLICE (very hilarious) and the one with Jordan in slow motion. But my favorite is Li'l Penny! This book has got all the best moments. Try it, or as Lit'l Penny says "GET OUT OF HERE!"
Rating:  Summary: About the weirdest book around Review: I remember the first time I saw a Little Penny commericial - I couldn't change the channel fast enough! That's how much that puppet spooked me! I remember thinking - Nike expects to sell shoes by scaring the heck out of people? Good Luck! I mean, I couldn't even sleep at night thinking Little Penny was under my bed. Some of my friends told me that the commercial tv spots were supposed to be funny and I said, yeah, I guess they are pretty funny...if you're WEIRD. All that aside, I found myself so focused on Little Penny (is he a spirit trapped in a doll? is he a figment of the real Penny Hardaway's imagination? is his skin warm like a persons?) I couldn't help but read this book to look for some answers. All I can say is - that woman who wrote this - Stacy Wall...let's just say, I wouldn't like to see the inside of her head. Move over Dean Koontz, there's a new King in town (and I'm not talking about Stephen King!) I'm talking about Stacy Wall!
Rating:  Summary: Hilarious! Review: I'm not even a huge basketball fan, but you don't have to be to enjoy this book! I am most impressed with the photography, but the text is pretty funny, too. The whole concept just cracked me up. I mean, who ever heard of a book starting on the inside flap? It's a quick read and I recommend it for a good laugh.
Rating:  Summary: L'il Penny is selling sneakers Review: I've been a fan of Anfernee Hardaway since his days at Memphis State. IMHO, he is the among the best players in the game today, allbeeit, he has been plagued by injury lately. This book is NOT about Hardaway. It's about some puppet that these Nike guys MADE UP. I don't think Penny had anything to do with it. It's all about selling sneakers. I think Penny should not wear Nikes anyway. My last pair fell apart after like two weeks. Maybe I don't have a sense of humor, but I didn't get this book AT ALL.
Rating:  Summary: An excellent insight to the creative genius of Lil Penny Review: Lil Penny has become more than just a marianette. While believed to be a sibling to Anfernee Hardaway, Lil Penny has a different father than Big Penny. Namely, Stacy Wall. Stacy in a creative genius whose ramblings and ideas give life to this character. A highly entertaining work that should be viewed as a gift from its author to the public that craves thoughtful yet whimsical material such as this. Another Slam Dunk from Stacy Wall.
Rating:  Summary: Li'l Penny is A Lot of Funny Review: Penny Hardaway is my favorite basketball player. I wish Shaq hadn't desserted the Magic. I'm glad Kazaam! stunk. Li'l Penny and Big Penny are both hilarious. This book is a good way of getting to know them better. Can you believe Li'l Penny has a dog! I bet it's Penny's dog really. Otherwise who would walk it??? Anybody who likes basketball should buy this book.
Rating:  Summary: Funny, but as Penny would say, "You missed a free throw" Review: Stacey did a nice job of writing about the funniness of Little Penny and some funny things about puppets in general, but clearly she doesn't know "squat" about basketball. (No offense, ladies, but time on the hardcourt is necessary to understand the "mind" of the player).While this book is hilarious, it needs some scenes like this: Penny: Lil' Penny, I am exhausted. Lil Penny: Why? Penny: I was driving the lane for the full 48 last night, then Bigs hit the J to put us in OT! Lil Penny: No way! Penny: 12 more minutes of PT, then I was off to the l-room to ice it. But check out my stats: 12, 12 and 8 trays. Butter! Lil Penny: Ice! Overall, good book, but get some REAL stuff in it, then it would be great. Start by hanging around the court and take it from there.
Rating:  Summary: A comic masterpiece! Review: The reader from Knoxville, TN is an idiot. Sorry to ruin your hoop dreams, but Stacy Wall is a man. You can tell this by his picture in the back inside flap (where it says he has webbed feet). So your "sorry ladies" line was pretty dumb, Chucko. And that garbage scene you wrote was about as funny as a case of head lice. That aside, this book was a riot. Do not overlook a word on any page. If there are any copies of The Case of the Purloined Pancakes still in publication, I want to find them! I need more LP!
Rating:  Summary: I still can't believe they made this book Review: This book is so funny.My favorite picture is in the back when Lil Penny is practicing Kung Fu.Funny Pictures.Funny Script.They need to make a sequel.
Rating:  Summary: Li'l Penny's Bio. Review: This is a book that tells you everything about Li'l Penny. It also gives stuff about Penny. Some parts are funny. You have a really fun time with this book. I recommend it to all the Penny and Li'l Penny fans out there.
