Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The only thing Roger likes better than exploring the world around him is describing it. And Roger describes most things as fabulous! But his parents have a different view. They want Roger to see things the way they do, so they ban 'fabulous' from his vocabulary. Fabulously illustrated by Peter Ferguson, this cheerful tale will have children rejoicing along with Roger at all the fabulous--no, marvelous! no, dazzling!--things that await him when he steps outside.

I can't believe that I am just finding out about this book. I can't believe that everyone doesn't know about this book. It is, well, fabulous. We all know someone that over uses a word or two. The character in this poem is no different. But, halfway through the book, his parents forbid him from using fabulous. The poem is funny and intelligent. The rhythm is great. This is a fabulous selection for a read aloud to teach students about word choice.

This a beautifully illustrated book. I'm amazed at the amount of time that Peter must have spent illustrating this book. The story is great, but it is the illustrations that makes the book.

Roger is a boy who understands the simple things in life, like a beautiful street and an interesting store. His parents and teacher, however, don't find him being late too fabulous. His outlook on life soon turns everybody around to his cheery point of view. As a children's bookseller, I see hundreds of new picture books every year, but this one definitely stands out, as fabulous!
Rated by buyers -
This story is so enjoyable for both the reader and the listener! Parents will relate to the boy in the book who wastes time and is constantly late for everything and children will love the rhyme of the story and the repetitious use of the word "fabulous". The old-fashioned illustrations are charming and this is definitely a book my 4 year old and I will be reading for some time.
