The World's Most Magnificent Vacuum Cleaner

Having had a father who loved reading as much as breathing, and a mother who created nap time stories, Dorothy Grizzell (Miz Grizz) developed an early love for children’s books. She studied art for three years, but her favorite class was Children’s Literature. After teaching elementary school for 22 years, she now combines the best of both worlds by writing and illustrating books for children.

4Cute book for little kids  May 07, 2008
By your friend
My son requested a book about a vacuum cleaner and we found this one. The drawings are done with marker and colored pencil (I think) in the style of an older child drawing them, which gives the book a charming homemade quality. The story is simple: a vacuum cleaner salesman sells a vacuum cleaner that will pick up anything, it cleans great but soon things and people disappear until the brother is the only one left; he sees the vacuum cleaner coming after him, he unplugs it, unzips it, and lets his family out. This book is just right for a five and three-year-old; slightly scary, but not too much since everything is okay in the end. They've requested to read it again and again. There is one typo which I find annoying, but overall just right if you want a book about a vacuum cleaner for your kids. Just one caveat: If your kids are scared of the vacuum cleaner "eating" things, this might feed that fear.

5Fantastic book for children  Feb 27, 2009
By K. Dougal
I bought this book for my 3 and 5 year old boys, but my older children love it too. It's one of the few children's books I can get my 12 year old to read to her younger siblings without bribery. The drawings are sweet and entertaining. I love how the first letter on each page is cleverly made into a character pertaining to the action on that page. The story is great and done in such a way as to not scare the little ones. I have recommended this book to all my family and friends.

5great fun  Mar 06, 2009
By Thomas Newton
This book was alot of fun to read to kids. They loved looking to see where the vacuum was hiding in the pages and who was going to disappear next. This book was one of my families favorites.

3not what I expected  Dec 06, 2008
By L. Miltner
I bought this because my son loves vacuums, he is 3. This story is about a vacuum that suck up an entire family...seems a bit scary for younger children. It doesn't read very well. I was disappointed.
