Phil the Vetriloquist


Phil the Ventriloquist is one of the three books I read by author Robert Krauss. In this book, with all rabbit-like characters, Phil is a young boy who can throw his voice and make other objects appear to talk. This gets on his parents nerves and is embarrassing them. Phil's parents try different solutions to getting him to stop throwing his voice around, but nothing seems to work. In the end, Phil is able to scare aware a robber in his house by making him think the furniture in the house talks. In the end, everyone is proud of Phil's ventriloquist abilities.

This book has large text size and simple pictures, excellent for any young reader. I would suggest this book to first or second grader growing in his or her reading abilities.
