Hooper Humperdink?....Not Him!

            Author: Theo LeSieg
Publishing: Random House Books for Young Readers
Number of Pages: Hardcover--40 pages
Genre:  Picture Book
Reading Level:  Ages 4-8
Summary: An unnamed child is having a party, and he goes through all the names of the people he will invite, and the type of things they will do, and he keeps saying that he will NOT invite Hooper Humperdink…..Not him! In the end he decides that his party is too good for anyone to miss, so he decides that he will invite Hooper Humperdink.  

My Reaction to the Book: I thought that this book was quite the tongue twister, but it was a very good book, loved the illustrations.  It was fun, kind of sad for Hooper Humperdink but everything turned out great. 

Potential Problems: There is a reference to a fat girl that is kind of mean.  Also throughout the whole book the boy that is having the party is leaving Hooper Humperdink out for no reason which is not a good thing for children to learn at all, but in the end it is good.

 Recommendations: I think that it is a good book to read. I would recommend it.  It is really good for learning the alphabet because he names off a bunch of names and they are all in alphabetical order.
