Once I began reading to Bowden, I discovered that he appreciated any voice I could make up for any character. This is good, since I talk in my own voice only 15 percent of the time.
So when I was walking through Borders and found this book, full of crazy voices and crazier characters (a cat who thinks he's a bird, and then thinks he's a chihuahua?!) I fell in love, and bought it for myself as a birthday present.
I have read this book to Bowden millions of times, to my mom, to random children in the street (well, the kids I sometimes baby-sit) and to our teenage staff kids here at camp, and everyone loves it.
Bowden likes to be called "Mr Fluffer-Nutter" by me, just like Skippyjon.
