Title: Clever Spoof of Universal Classic
Review: I'm an adult (most of the time), but I just loved this book! It's creative, silly and smart, all at the same time.I've always been a big fan of all those old B&W; horror films, and this book is a laugh-out-loud take-off on one of the best of the genre. I loved it. Best was the group of mice "natives" with their can of tuna, doing the "mysterious chant":"'Heeeer, Ki-tee Ki-tee!"Heeeer, Ki-tee Ki-tee!"Heeeer, Kit-te Ki-tee Ki-tee!'"Mr. Pilkey used his own pets' images for the illustrations. Rabies, the mouse who gets the role of "Rosie Rodent," has that startled, wide-eyed expression that looks just like Fay Wray. (Too bad the book didn't have sound, because I bet she squeals just like her, too.)There are lots of funny bits in this book: you'll need to go through it several times to pick all of them up. And then you will want to watch the old _King Kong_ again, just for old time's sake.
