No, no. This isn't my autobiography; but thanks for the compliment!
THREE PROS
*The world can never have too many inventors -- and the first half of the book might just inspire a few more
*Let's face it: cleverness is a hard concept to differentiate from generic smartness in the mind of a child, but this story does a good job traipsing around the subtleties
*How can you really hate too hard on any 'Mister' book that includes a ton of other misters in its cast
*How can you really hate too hard on any 'Mister' book that includes a ton of other misters in its cast
THREE CONS
*While I did like the joke Hargreaves used to close the action, I was still disappointed with the fact that Mr. Clever didn't speak to recognizing the need to tone down his hubris
*The red and orange tones used on the hybrid tree were so similar it kid of defeated the purpose of the entire page
*The red and orange tones used on the hybrid tree were so similar it kid of defeated the purpose of the entire page
*You would think with each successive person he is unable to help that Mr. C would have a tougher time mustering a smile (before ultimately failing again)
ONE DAD'S OPINION
This book is a relatively new addition to our home, but one that has avoided my hand until tonight. Looking at the 43 Mr. Men on the back cover, I have to admit it would be one of the first three I would pick to read, knowing nothing about the actual contents inside. So, I kinda just figured that I would enjoy it enough to make it a Borrow or better and move onto the next review tomorrow. Unfortunately, this was not to be. I just didn't get excited by the way author H dealt with mister C once he left Cleverland. It's okay, but not a really a repeat reader. You know what the saddest part of all is? I'm not sure I made one clever joke in the entire review of Mr. Clever!
