THAT CRAZY BARB'RA by Milton Schafer Illustrated by: G. Brian Karas Release Date: 9/29/03 Publisher: Dial Pages: 32 Rating: 4 Stars Reviewed by: Jennifer Wardrip, aka "The Genius"
Crazy Barb'ra is more like "crushing" Barb'ra!
She definitely has some puppy love going on for little Hubert Clumpty. Following him around, hanging on him at school, teasing him--all signs of a litle girl with a crush.
Although it's a funny story type-set with a childlike scrawl and big, bold pictures, parts of it are a little creepy--like when Barb'ra steals Hubert's clothes when he's skinny dipping.
Personally, I'd be a tad bit worried about a child that young swimming alone and naked. If you disregard that, though, this is a pretty cute bedtime story.
