Maxine is my hero..haha
First of all, I love Maxine. I give her cards for every occasion...well, most occasions that is. She is just so open, to the point...sort of like "open mouth insert foot", yet she does not care. I bought this book for my mother when my dad was in the hospital. I thought it would make her laugh & I was right. It really helped to take the tension off. I guess you have to appreciate Maxine for ...

There's an old southern saying--: The wit and wisdom of Dan May

Dan May

Crabby Keys Press, 1993

Delightful Book
Records the pithy sayings and jokes of Dan May. The aphorisms and witticisms are worthy of Mark Twain. For example, when asked how many people work at his factory, he answers, "About half." When asked, on another occasion, how many work there broken down by sex, he says, "None broken down by sex, but some by alcohol." May was an important figure in Nashville business and government in the ...

Sassy; Smart; Spunky; and Informative!
This book is a must-have for anyone using the Microsoft Office Suite--or for anyone who just wants a good laugh. Buy one for yourself, and buy one for your friends. Excellent, helpful tips written in such a hilarious manner, I could not put it down. Absolutely not another dry, boring "how-to" computer book! LW--Bellevue, WA

Crabby Abby made me Happy!:)
I really loved this sweet book! It is a book for grown-ups as well as children. The message that change can be scary is something most of us can relate to~~and little Abby invites us into her "shell" to show us how she overcame her fear AND made a friend! The thought provoking discussion questions at the end of the book help for children to talk about their own feelings about change. Routine is ...

this book teaches children how to deal w/ crabby friends
Crabby Gabby written by Stephen Cosgrove is a great book for children because it tells children how to react to crabby or overpowering friends. It also shows that the other furry eyefulls are forgiving which is telling children that they should forgive and forget too.

Why be angry when you can laugh about it???
I received this book as a gift a few years ago, and the day I started reading it, I was really sick, had a sore throat, and laughing really hurt. Despite all of that, I couldn't put the book down. Even now, years later, I pull this book out and read it, and laugh hysterically at what I'm reading. The concept is simple. Think of all of those little things that you run into from day to day, ...

Crabby Sez And Other Crabbyisms

Cedar Hill Publishing, 2004

This book is a hoot!!!
Crabby Sez is a riot. I enjoyed this book immensely. You'll smile and grin to yourself, then you'll want to read excerpts to everyone in the office. Cynical, very opinionated and hilarious. A funny read that will lighten your day.

What's Wrong with Being Crabby?

Charles M Schulz

Thomson Learning, 1976

If Lucy Knew How Funny She Was, She Wouldn't Be Crabby!
In this collection (originally entitle As You Like It, Charlie Brown), Lucy gets top billing in many of the stories. She takes piano lessons making Schroeder rather jealous ("You're cute when you're angry!"), points out Charlie Brown's faults (for $143- even by today's standards, that's pretty steep!), pulls a cruel joke on the blockhead for April Fool's Day, forces Linus to sing "Jingle ...

Moving parts don't work!!
This book's moving parts are the worst I have ever seen. Nothing moves easily/smoothly. My kids are not rough with books but it takes so much effort to move the crab that the pieces end up ripping. I think I ripped a few by accident as well. It's absolutely frustrating.

Boggin' For Buster Blue Crab : The Crabby Crustacean
Mary Claire Pinckney

Bee & Boo Enterprises, 1993

Boggin' For Buster Blue Crab is a revealing snapshot of a lowcountry native who thinks pluff mud has the fragrance of perfume and crab meat is somewhat more tasty than either caviar or truffles. She was reared on Edisto Island where she learned how to search tidal creeks with pluff mud between her toes and retrieve her crabby targets with gloved hands. For those more timid souls who are not convinced that the professional advice contained ...

Crabby Road: More From Maxine (Shoebox)

John Wagner

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1994

Maxine was born crabby!
This middle-aged plus cartoon lady's brow is eternally furrowed. Her mouth snears with disdain. Maxine is rarely without her tote bag, her cigarette, or her coffee mug. She taunts her pets, annoys her neighbors, and comments sarcastically on every subject imaginable. If we don't personally know a Maxine, we recognize the cynicism we all feel at one time or another. Maxine tells it like it ...

My seven year old loves these books!
I bought the first book in this series last April for my then 6 year old daughter, and in the past 5 months she has managed to read almost the whole series. She wants to stay up late reading them, because she doesn't want to put them down. I would highly recomend these books to anyone looking for very entertaining and morally sound books.
