Brenda's Beaver Needs a Barber: Reach Around Books--Season One, Book Five

Product Information

Much better than a parody of a children's book….Completely original! Everyone I have read it to has teared up from laughing so hard. The rhyming and flow of this children’s book is perfect... along with the outlandish content of course! It's a kind of cute story for those who don't get the jokes. It's a clean-read if you don't get the jokes. I've only read two other books of this type (by other authors). This one is better than those. A friend shared this book with me. The book is somewhat controversial, entertaining, and is a comedy. The drawings are good. they are going to think it is a book about a girl with a pet beaver...who needs a barber, such a cute storyline!

If Brenda was offended that's too bad, since there are many people named Brenda and I'm reasonably certain she (our Brenda) was not the inspiration for the title. The character development is hilarious, if you pay attention, the main characters from each book make cameo appearances in the other books...too funny. The double entendre runs deep with this one. (Apparently, there's a whole series of similar humor books.) It's one of those children's books that isn't a children's book but looks like a children's book... and is really only funny to adults who enjoy this brand of humor. I'd recommend it as a gag gift for a bachelorette party or something along those lines. Even if insult or hatred are implied or even overt elements of the joke, I don't care. I want to know who those kind of people are. Self identifying through such humor just makes it easier I bought this as a gag gift for a baby shower. It was a huge hit. I had a lot of fun reading it prior to gifting as well.I had this book recommended to me by a friend, who hoped I would read and review Bimisi Tayanita’s handful of “children’s stories meant for adults”. This was the first I found and devoured it, pardon the pun, in a few short minutes. Brenda has a beaver that appears to be out of control. Wherever she goes, it seems to be the centre of attention, more for its bushy coat than for any other reason. While Brenda cannot understand why, her friends intervene and help her discover that a trimmed and tended beaver, while much smaller, can be just as great and much more manageable. Full of double entendre, it forces the adult reader to recount this story to a child, who will likely not get the innuendo, with a straight face. Well paced and full of pitfalls that will surely create laughter or the odd eyebrow raise! Sorry, Neo... we will not be adding this to our joint reading venture. For a limited time, the Season Two Box Set will include the prized limited-edition collectible gift box....Every other set sold will come in a Sleeve. Brenda’s Beaver Book is a series of books that has been written by author Brenda. The first book in the series is called Brenda’s Beaver Needs a Barber, which was published in 2003. The second book in the series, Brenda’s Beaver Doesn’t Like Shaving, was published in 2005. The third book in the series, Brenda’s Beaver Needs to Wash His Hair, was published in 2007. These three books make up what is known as Brenda’s Beaver Trilogy.

I gave this as a gift to my best friend at her gender reveal party. She read it aloud everyone was laughing so hard over this book. I bought this as a baby shower gift, It was a hit and provided many laughs, my sister in law loved it... Most of the time they are teaching moments that make great points. Sometimes it's just the situation that is funny. As long as it makes somebody laugh and no insult is implied, I see no harm.Kudos, Madam Tayanita, for this insightful piece. I will read as many as I can. I needed a laugh while on isolation. If you are going to get butthurt over every joke you consider inappropriate, o think you will be wasting a lot of time and energy. I've seen and heard many jokes that involve subjects such as rape, pedophilia, death, necrophilia, and many other "taboo" subjects. The innocence of the illustrations coupled with the double entendre text had me doubled up with laughter.
