Summary: trademark Pinkwater humor
Comment: The story of this book: Mr. and Mrs. Submarine start by bringing their cat in out of the rain, and offering it a corn muffin. Not strange at all. Then they invite the dog in. Not everyone allows a dog in the house, but many people do. Still, this is not strange.

But later, as the friends include a group of chickens, a group of crows, a coyote, and Beethoven, the book gets funnier and funnier.

Young children realize that cows, chickens, and Beethoven don't belong in the house, and realize just how strange and genuinely funny Mr. and Mrs. Submarine are. Kids just LOVE this book!

There is no plot as such. The guests just tend toward the more and more bizarre, and the comments and humor of the book just get more and more chuckly.

The illustrations in the book are colorful and warm, reminding me of bright watercolors.

If you like Pinkwater books, this is a good one. The book surely does NOT "go anywhere," as one reviewer complained. Surely, that is true. This book is funny without going anywhere.

Give it a try.

Summary: Funny Book!
Comment: Sure, Pinkwater's humor isn't for everyone and the kids will miss some of it. Still, I found the book very entertaining which is something I can't say for most books I read to the children.

Summary: Daniel Pinkwater is a genius!
Comment: This book is very funny, and totally bizarre. Daniel Pinkwater is one of the greatest, and most underappreciated, authors writing today. The illustrations are beautiful, and add to the overall tone of whimsy and wit.
