Author: Omnitrix Illuminator V.2 For the past week, my nieces, nephews, students and I are frenzied by the world of creative animation and are having loads of fun. A week ago, a Ben 10 watch (the Omnitrix Illuminator V.2) was sent to me. It created quite a stir among my students and subsequently ignited their interest (and mine 
) to become budding animators. It is very easy to create animated movies using HP technology and Cartoon Network’s animation software. I am having fun…. spendin

Back in the early 1990s, Warner Brothers ran a new cartoon series called Tiny Toon Adventures , and it was presented by Stephen Spielberg. Instead of the iconic Warner Brothers cartoon characters, they featured their nephews, Buster Bunny, Plucky Duck and Hampton J. Pig, among many others. There were 98 episodes done over three seasons from 1990-92, with the animation done by seven different studios. Some were of middling humor, though the animation quality was often less than stellar.

“Any parent of a small child knows that the best cure for a youngster’s bad temper is to redirect his or her attention toward something humorous. Lichtenheld demonstrates just how this works in a collection of large, double-spread cartoons depicting a variety of situations that might cause a rotten mood…Lichtenheld’s big, bold, broadly comic art style…is well suited to the tone of the text and has solid child appeal. Give this one to grumpy kids, or to anyone in need of cheering up.” -Booklist

4 Stars great book for kids
enjoyed this book, very funny, but the font is a bit hard to read for kids. Great if you read to them.
5 Stars You must buy this book!
My 5 year old daughter ADORES this book. She recites different parts to her friends if they get grumpy, “did somebody leave the toilet seat up…and you fell in?” It’s definatley not for a younger child, my 3 year old really loses her attention because the artwork is not bright and simple. Also, as a sidenote: there is a part that says, did your aunt give you a hug? and the illustration is a newspaper clipping about a boy who was lost in his aunts bosom. My nephews thought this was pretty gross to have a picture of a lady with a HUGE bosom. Anyway, hope this helps!
5 Stars Great Book!
My kids LOVE this book. My sister bought it and recommended it to me. The pictures and story are great. Tom is a great author and I would recommend all of his books. It reminds me a lot of another book I love by Judith Viorst “Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.”
5 Stars Very funny
I read this book at a book store and decided that I had to have it, not only for my children, but for me too. My children have memorized the pages and “read it” to themselves all of the time. I read it to my mom and dad and we were almost in tears from laughing so hard. I highly recommend this book to everyone of all ages.
4 Stars Cereal box pages are worth the book
The two-page spread comparing kids’ cereal with grown-ups’ cereal is a gem. Note the ingredients list on the side. I laughed aloud and sent it to my husband. He responded the same way. The kids relished seeing us enjoy a “kids’ book.”
