Kirkus Review

As Martha Alexander pictures them, nursery-schooler Thad's naughty doings are an occasion for appreciative amusement. ""Thad is not hungry. But Toto is,"" says Malloy, and we see Thad feeding his dog under the table. ""BAD THAD!"" ""Thad is not napping. He isn't sleepy,"" and we see him climbing out his ranch-house window to play with Toto. ""Thad doesn't want to have his checkup. He is hiding""--in the doctor's fish tank, to everyone's dismay. Thad puts the doctor's stethoscope in a jar of vaseline, stands on tiptoes when the nurse checks his height, rides down the up escalator, and generally behaves in a manner that justifies his parents' relief when, in the final frame, they tuck him in for the night. With every misdeed someone exclaims ""BAD THAD,"" encouraging ThaWs young audience to join in the chorus. He's an appealing mischief-maker. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
