Disclosure:  I was offered a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.

A man, a remote control, and an adventure you may have dreamed about.

An adventure for kids and adults alike. This is the story of how one man might have made a difference.

I like the way this book is written. It is a very fun book to read, with great images. I pictured myself reading this one to my grandkids as I read it, and all of us would be laughing out loud.

Dan O'Brien did a wonderful thing writing this short book. It will is a fun book to read, and might become a child's favorite. The characters are foolish enough, yet lifelike enough to allow the imagination to roam.

I can easily recommend this book to anyone that enjoys fairy tales and adventures. If you have kids or grandkids, this is a great book to read to them. If the kids are old enough, this is still a great adventure for them to read. If you simply enjoy a good laugh, grab this book. However, this is not a joke book, it is simply a fun adventure to read about. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

I read this at school and my mom read it at her grandma's when she was my age.  It is a cool and funny book.  Even my eight year old sister likes it!

The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales is one of my favorite books. The author takes fairy tales that mostly everone knows and turns them into his own by changing the character's names and personalities and changing a few things in the plot. I like the way the whole book fits together. Instead of having story after story, there is Jack The Narrator who jumps in every once in a while to say a few words and The Little Red Hen jumps in to yell about not having a part in the book. The book fits together and doesn't bore you with story after story. The illustrations are very creative and different. They fill the pages with color and eye-catching matter. This book is very funny and filled with nonsense stories that make you laugh. No matter what age you are, you can enjoy this book.

This is great Terry Prachett.  Aimed at younger audiences but thoroughly enjoyable for any age.  One of the funniest of his books.

This book is the classic story of the "three little pigs" from the wolf's perspective. It is a bit funny, sometimes very funny, but more important, it shows children, that even if you think you KNOW what happened, there is always two sides to every story. It is an entertaining way to teach children not to engage or believe gossip, but to seek out the truth. Additionally, it shows how both sides involved in a conflict, can view the exact same situation in two totally different ways. This is an enagaging and enjoyable story, and fun for all ages!

I found this story funny, entertaining and totally hilarious.  The author takes you on a wacky journey and you can't help but love the main character in the plot. The characters come to life with the author's brilliant and imaginative descriptions.

If you're looking for some escapism in the form of a short story that will make you laugh then get this one. In my view, Helen Mallon addresses some underlying themes that are quite serious, but managed to broach them in a light-hearted way.

Loved it, still laughing. Will definitely read more from her if available.

This was so funny! Anyone who loves bacon (which is many, many people) will love this short story. The baby telling the story was quite expressive. Loved it! Recommended it to people I know are bacon-addicts.

This book is fun for any youngsters who are looking for some fun. It is a cool story about a middle school boy on a crazy, weird, and sometimes idiotic adventure. This is a great book for any 7-12 year olds who need some laughter!!!

This review is for the Kindle edition ebook.

Disclosure:  I was given an advanced review copy of this book by the author or publisher to read and review.

Hilarious story of a couple of kids whose lives turn from boring to adventure overnight.

A dream of adventure, a couple of kids, a dog, a cat, and the worlds most feared killer. When the kids inherit a fortune, a killer comes looking for them. The dreams turn into reality for Hector, while his sister and parents attempt to keep the family alive.

This story had me laughing out loud often. I found the adventures of this family outrageous for the most part, with enough fun for kids and adults to enjoy. While the parents learn to deal with a daydreamer, Hector learns a bit of self-control. While there are some spelling and grammar errors, such as "wondering" instead of "wandering", they did not detract from the reading. Some of the spelling is attributable to the translations from British English to American English.

I think P. A. Booth wrote this book to entertain children. It certainly entertained me, and I think my grandchildren would really enjoy this story.

I would recommend this book to preteens and teens that are able to read on their own. There are a couple of pages with violence, but most children will be able to understand the over-riding theme that violence should be avoided as much as possible. This story was so much fun to read, I will be looking for more by this author.

This book is a fun little story.  That made my family laugh with some funny comparisons between animals and humans.

This is a very funny and charming book for all ages. A young boy tells of the adventures he and his siblings have with a new male Nanny. It might be a good book for youngsters who have a Gay family member and a parent doesn't know how to start a conversation on the topic.

My children and I both enjoyed this tale.  It addresses feelings that kids deal with, and puts a really funny twist on them.  My kids particularly enjoys the "fart" joke.  Kids will be kids and it nice to see a book that addresses normal life.  I intend to get the rest of the books in the series.

I was introduced to this book by a co-worker of mine who was reading it with his nephew. They were both laughing out loud and were quick to recommend the book to me as a potential Christmas present for my prolific-reader daughter, who at 11 years of age is part of the target demographic for this book. Turns out that she was already familiar with the story, as it is adapted from a comic strip on Funbrain.com. Fact is, you can peruse the entire text of this book on Funbrain, although there are some differences between the online version and the print version. She was excited to get the book, though, and read it in one sitting. She giggled and chortled so much that I couldn't resist giving it a go, and I'm glad that I did.

The main hero is a likeable, if clueless, goofball. He meanders his way through many a banal adventure, usually with his best friend at his side. Our hero and his bud tread the dangerous waters of unfortunate class seating charts, Halloween mishaps, Christmas disappointments, the soul-consuming terror of the school play, and many other familiar comic situations endemic to middle-class suburbia. The characters in this book pretty much act and react like real kids, and I think that the author has a pretty good idea of what it's like to be 11 or 12 years old again, on the cusp of adolescence but still very much caught up with childish emotions and motivations.

It's not deep literature, it's not cutting-edge social commentary, it's not supposed to be a completely accurate reflection of middle-school life...but it IS pretty darn funny. My daughter was laughing and enjoying it, and I know that I did as well. I heartily recommend it, and we're looking forward to the next installment. I'd suggest going to Funbrain to check it out, then grab the print version if you like what you see. It's good to have the portability of a book, and it's well worth the ten-spot, IMO.

This story was fun to read to my new born and my toddler.funny story easy to follow. But not too short or too long. The illustrations were well done too.
