I haven’t given a book review in some time and the truth is that I haven’t been reading a whole lot of books lately, mostly just blogs. Then I thought hey… what about Clay Boy! So here is the latest book my mom sent us home with that she found in the 25 cent bin at the library.
A little grandpa creates a clay boy.
They feed the clay boy.
The clay boy eats all their food.
and their chickens, cat and dog.
Then he eats the grandma and the grandpa.
Then he eats more people… a lot more people.
He is still hungry!
Until one day a little white goat.
Saves the Day!
So I wonder why Clay Boy ended up in the 25 cent bin?
If you would like to borrow Clay Boy, I would love to let you, although it will be for a small fee (I need to start saving for the future therapy that Avery might need).
P.S. Mom, can Avery come sleep…I mean not sleep at your house?
That is one hilariously freaky kids book. Yes, it may just need to mysteriously end up in the DI box. Spread the freaky joy to the underprivileged around the world. Even little donations bless many nations, Kami.
OK, OK, I didn’t actually look at it. I buy a lot of books and I thought the cover was cute. What a creepy book. OOPS.
That is super creepy!!
Oh boy, that just made me laugh. That would keep Kaitlin’s eyes wide open too!
i just love stuff like that–and we thought all the creepy, crazy, bad-dreams stuff was only in our childhoods. good to know they haven’t censored it all out.
perhaps the author was on peyote? just a thought.
Yikes, how did it ever get published? That’s just crazy! I’ll remember what book NOT to look for next time we go to the library!
LOL! Thanks for a good chuckle. I tell you I wonder how some of these books get published.
funny- that sounds like the kind of book my true love, big daddy would come up with!
ah ha ha ha ah! Hilarious!
One of those books you’re glad you didn’t read for the first time to a whole class of Kindergartners. (coming from a mom who has done just that)
No wonder Avery didn’t sleep – that was a little freaky!!You almost wonder what the author was thinking when he wrote the book. Not exactly a book to give you sweet dreams at night!! It sounds like your dinner went well with Megan and her parents! Your menu sounded delicious!! Oh, and Disneyland? I am so hiding in your suitcase!! Our absolute favorite thing to do is Turtle Talk with Crush. It’s in California Adventure. And they have Crush the turtle from Nemo on this screen that looks exactly like the ocean – and you get to talk to him. It’s hilarious!! We have been to it 5 times! You won’t regret it!
That was awesome
We have the fairy tale book that the wolf eats grandma and the woodsman takes his ax and cuts it open so she can get out! I think that is the twins favorite picture in the book..cartoon granny climbing from a sliced open wolf
P.S. maybe we could get a group rate on therapy
The more I look at this, the more I think it is symbolic of the American economy.
What do you think?
I can’t even imagine someone writing this, none the less a publisher accepting it. It must be a joke. It is kind of funny in a sadistic way.
Camden and Shannon would probably like that book!! kinda scary, but maybe if they continue on there crazy streak, I will tell them we are getting a CLAY BOY!!!
That is so blasted funny and creepy and weird!!! Wow, guess I will be skipping the 25 cent bin from now on. I may need therapy too now
That just makes me laugh. I had to make my chicken pasta salad for a teacher’s dinner & ate a giant bowl of it myself first. Now I feel like the clay boy (only I’m pasta girl) – I wish a goat would pop my tummy & give me some relief!
Annie’s comment, so funny. Sometimes don’t we all wish a goat would pop our tummy to relieve us. That is one freaky book Kam.
I LOVE your blog!
creepy! I’m sure my boys would love it!
I am dying. What child is going to want to play with clay if it may end up eating them? But knowing that they were all alive and they could get out, my son may want to get eaten by a Clay boy and then smash it to bits!
Sometimes I feel like clay bot and want to eat everything in sight but people? a little creepy.
Clay boy is scary! No wonder it was in the cheap bin.
You are kidding me.
