I like to take my own advice so I am reading one of the new arrivals. Jon Scieszka is famous for writing children's books like The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. He also writes chapter books like The Time Warp Trio. Not being a child hasn't stopped me from enjoying his books and even using them to teach my classes (point of view is played with in the The True Story of the Three Little Pigs). So when Frank Einstein and the Antimotor Motor arrived I decided to read it before I put it on the shelves.
Basically a kid invents a robot that sort of invents itself. The story is what happens next... and I am still reading it so I don't quite know yet. But it is silly and I am feeling like a kid again reading it... and I do like feeling like a kid. That is my review thus far.
