He had an amazing range, from totally kid friendly to not even a little bit. Dude was(is?) seriously twisted, in a good way.

A few years back, I gave that book to my mother for Christmas. I wrote inside to let her know how much I appreciated the sacrifices that she made for my brother and I.
She passed away last year. That book will always hold a special place in my heart.

Yeah we have it, but I can't read it to my boys very often.
I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

Wow, talk about going back in time! The covers of both Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic are burned into my memory from elementary school.
I think I'll buy a copy for my 2 boys, 8 & 9 to read.
