Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - the stupids have a ball
This book is about Mr. & Mrs.Stupid and their kids; Petunia and Buster stupid have a silly costume ball. I liked this book because the stupids are always so funny and they do everything different and wrong. This book would be good for a girl or boy 10 and under who wants a laugh.This book has funny and great illustrations.
It is an awesome series.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I dare you
I dare you to read The Stupids Have A Ball, out loud to a ten year old and not lose your composure. The Stupids are, as they say, one taco shy of a combo platter. No, make that two. Mama Stupid wears buckets for shoes and the painting of Mount Stupid is a of a completely flat lawn.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Allard and Marshall do it again!
Harry Allard and James Marshall once again create a masterpiece, featuring the Stupids. Everything about this is perfect - the plot, the details, the illustrations that add the perfect counterpart to the text. I read this book with my family as a child, and we frequently had to stop to catch our breath because we were laughing too hard to read. Can't wait to read it to my children.
