strange submitted by Berryak on July 20, 2014, 9:37am its strange but good

dry humor submitted by atpierce on June 17, 2016, 2:33pm The title says it all. Absurd book, with a great sense of humor.

The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish submitted by lstorc on August 6, 2018, 4:39am Endearing and good for all ages

Nice! submitted by teri on June 12, 2022, 8:43pm Our 5 year old girl was taken with the idea of swapping a "Dad" for something more interesting. She seemed a little concerned - hoping that all would work out and the family would reunite. Which it did. I enjoyed it too - we even passed it around at a family gathering. Everyone agreed that it was a creative story that kept one's interest right up until the end.
