3.0 out of 5 stars Lizard Music, May 9 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Lizard Music (Paperback)
The book that i am going to tell you about is called Lizard Music. It was a pretty good book. The setting of Lizard Music is in more than one place. The setting helps to make the story more exciting because because where victor goes is a little weird. Especially the the people. The Chicken man was a really weird character. He would walk around with his chicken Claudia on his head. Victor the main characterwent from being a scared little boy to a brave little boy. In the beginning he kept on getting scared because ke kept on seeing lizards all over the place. In the end he didn't mind seeing the lizards. I think that the moral of this book is do not judge a book by it's cover because the cover that I saw was a really boring cover,but if I saw the new cover I would probably want to read it. It ended up being a good book though. The end of the story ended up being very predictable. If Victor kept on seeing lizards everywhere then you could assume that he was going to meet them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lizard Music is awesome!, Oct 20 2002

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lizard Music (Paperback)
This is the second book I read by Daniel Manus Pinkwater. I loved it! It's a great story, and one that kids will definetely like.. It's just got the exact mix of realistic adventure and silliness that makes a good read. Plus, it's got the Chicken Man, a character from several of Pinkwater's books, it features large lizards, and a healthy dose of Walter Cronkite. I don't think it gets much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book about 15 yrs ago, Feb 23 2002
By "pezzgirl79" (Sacramento) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lizard Music (Paperback)
I read this book about 15 yrs ago when I was in Elementary, and I loved it. Even as a little kid, I had a weird sense of humor, and this book appealed to that bizarre little brain of mine. I dug it, and I still think every kid should read it. If they don't like it, they will grow up to be boring and humourless adults. Some boy I went to school with did a book report on this book every year from 2nd grade until middle school.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the coolest book ever!
I started reading Daniel Pinkwater books when I was 7. The first book I read was Lizard Music. I like it the best. I think it's cool because it's a magical book and I like magic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pinkwater is warming up here
By normal kids' books standards, this is uncommonly hilarious and subversive. Some of Pinkwater's later books are far more so... but maybe they're for a bit of an older audience.
