Would this be one of the Thousand Young?, Dec 29 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby's First Mythos (Board book)
Granted, not all the poetry absolutely works, but for the effort and the very concept itself, it earns 5 stars. A must forall Mythos fans and alumni of Miskatonic U. as they contemplate
their future spawn, er, children. Whatever.

A thing of beauty, Jan 27 2006
By K. Meyer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby's First Mythos (Board book)
The idea of parodying the typical children's ABC and 123 books by illustrating them with Lovecraft's Elder Gods just tickles my funny bone. Every little snippet of writing, including the author and artist bios, is subtly clever, and the ink drawings are perfect for the subject.
The best part is...I thought I knew a bit about it, but the book actually taught me plenty I didn't know about the Lovecraft mythos. The only complaint (and a slight one at that) is the binding looks the kind that's going to crack and fall apart after not too long, which is a pity, because I'd like it to last long enough to show my own future spawn.
Every Lovecraft fan should get one.

Excellent child reading for the Addams Family, Jan 20 2006
By John Oconnor "Wrong Reverend Pope John the Me... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby's First Mythos (Board book)
Very well done. The poems sometimes stretch a bit, but then, it's sometimes hard for find words to rhyme with Nyarlothetep or Cthulhu. The drawings, though, are wonderful. If your intention is to twist your child, much like Wednesday Addams, then this book is essential. Personally, though, I prefer to twist myself, and this book does that very well.
Listmania!
