I think this was a very good book. There were lots of stories in it. They were all very funny. There were stories in it about Christmas time, Tasmanian Devils, jaw breakers, fairs, scratching cars, bad words, leg lamps, and Little Orphan Annie. I think it is very important to drink your Ovaltine. There's one story about Ralphie writing book reports and it was funny because they all kind of read like this review. He didn't like writing book reports much but it was a funny story. Jean Shepherd wrote really funny stuff. I think anyone who reads this book would like it. I think it deserves a Major Award.
