Book #1 in my favorite series of c...hildrens' books. This was the first series that I considered "my own." I think book 4 in this series was the first book I purchased for myself when I was 7. I recently bought 3 copies of this book to pass on to my nephews for Christmas. In the age of Wii and Nintendo DS this may not get the best initial reaction on Christmas day, but I am confidant 10 years from now my nephews will remember who introduced them to Tom Fitzgerald better than who got them Mario Kart.
Very clever story about t...he early life in Utah. My children love the "Great Brain" books. John D. Fitzgerald was able to capture the reader's attention by explaining the little tricks of the "Great Brain." The "Great Brain" being John's brother in real life. Definitely a book worth reading.
Bought this for my kids to read. My teacher read this to... us back in the 2nd grade in the 80's. Kids enjoyed it.
