The World's Most Magnificent Vacuum Cleaner

Having had a father who loved reading as much as breathing, and a mother who created nap time stories, Dorothy Grizzell (Miz Grizz) developed an early love for children’s books. She studied art for three years, but her favorite class was Children’s Literature. After teaching elementary school for 22 years, she now combines the best of both worlds by writing and illustrating books for children.

3not what I expected  Dec 06, 2008
I bought this because my son loves vacuums, he is 3. This story is about a vacuum that suck up an entire family...seems a bit scary for younger children. It doesn't read very well. I was disappointed.

5Excellent book for children of all ages - 1 to 100!  Jul 03, 2008
This is just such a cute little book and story. It has lots of detail in the artwork that add a story to the story! Very colorful to keep childrens attention. Short enough for a bedtime story and to keep their attention. Each time I read it I find out more details to the story through the illistrations. The mystery is just scarey enough to keep kids on the edge of their seats, but not give them nightmares! A refreshing point of view. Gets the mind up and off the couch!

LOVE IT!

4Cute book for little kids  May 07, 2008
My son requested a book about a vacuum cleaner and we found this one. The drawings are done with marker and colored pencil (I think) in the style of an older child drawing them, which gives the book a charming homemade quality. The story is simple: a vacuum cleaner salesman sells a vacuum cleaner that will pick up anything, it cleans great but soon things and people disappear until the brother is the only one left; he sees the vacuum cleaner coming after him, he unplugs it, unzips it, and lets his family out. This book is just right for a five and three-year-old; slightly scary, but not too much since everything is okay in the end. They've requested to read it again and again. There is one typo which I find annoying, but overall just right if you want a book about a vacuum cleaner for your kids. Just one caveat: If your kids are scared of the vacuum cleaner "eating" things, this might feed that fear.
