Rating:  - My son loved Stanley Q Stupid
I first brought this book for my son who was 4 when my 39 year old brother died. I thought it might help him understand death. To my surprise the book was a wonderfully silly fun book which made him laugh everytime he read the book. Now that he is a father of a baby boy old grandma here wanted my son to enjoy reading his favorite book to his own son and relive a part of his childhood. It is a delightful book
Rating: - Not so Stupid Books for Children
I was introduced to the Stupids when we began reading the series to my young daughter. They're all great, but I think The Stupids Die might have a slight edge, because it's such a deliciously loony premise. James Marshall's cartoony illustrations are the perfect counterpoint to the simple but clever text.
I find it funny that these books could be the subject of any controversy. The Stupids don't call each other (or anyone else) "stupid" -- they just ARE stupid, it is after all their ... Read More
Rating: - Awesome books

I think these books were great! My mom and I would pick out what they were doing wrong (eating with their toes, watering the carpet) and this short book turned into a fun experiance.

Rating:  - All About Context

My parents read all of this series of books to my siblings and I as children and we NEVER thought it was acceptable to call each other stupid, nor did we take that away from these stories. I feel that, when read to children in the correct context, these books are fun, silly, and help teach us to be able to laugh at ourselves. I think those that are getting so upset about the word "stupid" in these books ... Read More
Rating:  - The Stupids Die
I am a student of West Virginia State College, currently taking a class on Children's Literature. Mr. Samples (A Wonderful Teacher) has instructed us to review a Challenged/Censored book and write our thoughts on it. I read this book as a child and wanted to read it again to see what the fuss was about and why it would be censored. As a child, I read these books because they were ridiculous, therefore funny! As an adult, I can see that some might object to the use of the word "Stupid" and the ... Read More
