Chuckle and Cringe

by David Lewman

Most kids who are fans of Spongebob Squarepants will love this book. This book seems to be a compilation of embarassing stories from the TV show, presented in first "person" by the different characters.

As a big fan of Spongebob and his Bikini Bottom pals, I figured I would love this book. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. It reminded me of that person at the party who can't tell a story well, and you hear those invisible crickets when they are done. The book was very dry and I just didn't find it as funny as it was trying to be. I felt like the book was hastily put together in order to capitalize on the Spongebob enterprise. On the other hand, kids will probably love it. Adults, maybe not.
