However, it doesn't have the very familiar emotions that WWWTA has, so I found it a harder book with which to connect; where we know Max and see ourselves in him, we don't know much about Mickey except that he has really fun dreams.</I><BR/><BR/>This is just how I've always felt about the two books. WTWTA has the universal emotions; ITNK is just -- out there. WTWTA is one of the best picture books ever created; ITNK is just -- out there.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-72190702316633092292008-09-05T20:07:00.000-04:002008-09-05T20:07:00.000-04:00Thanks, Julia!Tabitha, Tink was the same way -- ou...Thanks, Julia!<BR/><BR/>Tabitha, Tink was the same way -- outraged by the sticker!<BR/><BR/>Elise: :) Kind of love how many times I got to say it in this post.Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277260387578439327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-30793978959951657422008-09-05T20:05:00.000-04:002008-09-05T20:05:00.000-04:00Okay, clearly I have to revisit this book with Cap...Okay, clearly I have to revisit this book with Captain Destructo, since so many of you loved it.<BR/><BR/>See? This is why reviews often mean nothing! <BR/><BR/>Amber, I think they do. Seriously, I think it makes people feel like they are doing something good for their kids when so much of the time we as parents have no clue what to do.<BR/><BR/>Diane, now I need cake.

Of course the illustrations are wonderful, but the text is so rhythmic and fun to read aloud: "I'm not the milk and the milk's not me! I'm Mickey!" It's loud, boyish, and fun. And who wouldn't like to have cake for breakfast every morning?<BR/><BR/>Boy must've really loved this book, too, because our copy has crayon scribbles all over it, one of the only books he ever did that to.Diane Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128401898400900879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-22695339953376803062008-09-05T15:38:00.000-04:002008-09-05T15:38:00.000-04:00LOL sicker on the winkie.Hmm maybe it looks "weird...LOL sicker on the winkie.<BR/><BR/>Hmm maybe it looks "weird" b/c it's more uncircumcised-looking.

I'm sure my oldest would notice the penis, but I don't think he'd be upset by it. I think he'd just ask me why this person was naked, then be done with it. :) If there was a sticker over it, I think he'd be offended because we don't put stickers in books! :)Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420910182752981979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-10015134629513134562008-09-05T11:44:00.000-04:002008-09-05T11:44:00.000-04:00lol - I want to hear that band!Great post.Julia (v...lol - I want to hear that band!<BR/><BR/>Great post.<BR/><BR/>Julia (verla's)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-1763035113748766602008-09-05T11:21:00.000-04:002008-09-05T11:21:00.000-04:00Ephelba, interesting.

Anywho,My son hated- HATED- that book because of the penis. HATED IT! He noticed it right away and said it wasn't right. I could care less, but I understand that it offends some kids' sense of propriety. That said, just because it gives some kids something to think about is no reason to put a sticker on the winkie. That's just silly.ephelbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699743973126336389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-67954879386812467082008-09-05T10:11:00.000-04:002008-09-05T10:11:00.000-04:00Hmm, Sharon.

I think my daughter commented something to the effect of "Why would you wear clothes when you are jumping in?"<BR/> I can't believe the use of stickers. Tink is SO right. Even Michaelangelo knew better.<BR/>SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
