CLAP! CLAP!).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Stoo Hample is the da Vinci of Daft, the Socrates of Screwy, and the Gershwin of Goofy. His book is mordant, scintillating, pungent, and deeply profound, but it's just a bit too silly for me." -- Norton Juster, author of THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH -- Norton Juster <p/>"Stoo Hample's THE SILLY BOOK is more than forty years old and just as silly as ever. Me, too. Which is why I still love it. So do my grandchildren." -- Mary Rodgers, author of FREAKY FRIDAY -- Mary Rodgers <p/>"THE SILLY BOOK is back again. It's the epitome of Stoo Hample himself. His crazy sense of humor and laughter -- his unique frolic with the sound and fun in words -- is like having Stoo himself in the room making us laugh." -- Charlotte Zolotow, publisher emerita and children's book author -- Charlotte Zolotow Award <p/>"THE SILLY BOOK is -- ha ha -- so silly -- ha ha -- that I have trouble -- ha ha -- thinking about it while writing this -- ha ha ha ha -- blurb. I mean, have you noticed that the first two -- ha ha -- letters in Hample are Ha? I mean -- ha ha -- isn't that -- ? It's so -- ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Forgive me." -- Jules Feiffer -- Jules Feiffer<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Stoo Hample </b>is the author and illustrator of many books for children, including <i>I Will Kiss You (Lots & Lots & Lots), Stoo Hample's Book of Bad Manners, </i>and the international bestseller <i>Children's Letters to God. </i>He lives in New York City.
