If you enjoy a wry wit....

I enjoy reading this to my son. He's too young to appreciate the humor, but he loves the illustrations. It makes reading fun for both parents and children.
It will put a smile on your face

I picked up this book from the pile of Post-Modern picture books that my professor had on her desk for us to look through. Boy am I glad I happened to pick this one up! It was HILARIOUS! I have lived in the southern United States for a long time, so I could really relate to the country jokes. And they are just that... jokes. I don't think the author intended to offend anyone by them. I am certainly not offended. I think it's great to lightheartedly poke fun at one's life. Regardless, the ultimate message is to be happy in whatever situation, which the family is. I can't wait to read this book to my nieces, though I don't think they will get all of the jokes. I think it's brilliantly funny and creative, and I know I'll need it when I need a really good laugh.
A wonderful book!

A true to life tale of moving from the big city to the country. Really cute. My kids love this book!
Funny? Yes. Also meaningful.

This book *is* very very funny, but I think by the reviews I've read, people are missing the point. The Happy Hocky Family is happy - regardless. No matter what life throws at them, they always face it with optimism. So what if your favorite caterpillar turns into a butterfly and escapes? You still have the cool jar, right? Buy the book to laugh, but learn the lesson of the Hockys. Be happy - regardless. Life is too tragic to let the little things slip by unappreciated.
Totally hilarious

This book is totally hillarious. It's even funnier than the first one, which is hard to believe. My 11 year old son and I were laughing so hard reading it in the book store that people were looking at us. Buy it for a great laugh!
