Off Our Rockers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
My two sons, 5 and 7, and I are hard core Tim Egan fans who simply cannot get enough of his dead-pan humor and wonderful mastery of the understated. All you need to know is that this book begins with the criminal arrest of the main characters and if that's not an unconventional jump-start to a childrens' story I don't know what is...We have favorite lines from every one of Tim Egan's books and shout them out to each other at appropriate moments. Blunder of the Rogues has given us, "The little old sheep lady was off her rocker. A fruitcake. A weird and scary little ball of wool." You'd be surprised how often this has served to encapsulate various moments in our daily lives. We give thanks there's someone as strange and original as Tim Egan out there writing for children (and the parents who read to them.) We never tire of Mr Egan and his unique voice.

I quite enjoyed this story. I read this book for a Children Literature class and found the book a good tool to show children that crime does not pay. The author had a nice hopeful ending to where the Rogues made a better decision after prision and become more productive with their lives.
