This is an amusing tale of Jimmy's day after a visit to the ice cream parlor. The entire story is left in the hands of the reader because there are choices as to what happens next. The book is set up to look like a comic book. It has text boxes and pictures within them, but each box is connected to another box that could lead to a line that leads to a tab that takes the reader to a different page. The book is some what confusing at first because the interactive style is nothing ever seen before, but the tale is well worth it. Older children should be able to keep up with the design of the book and its content. The nature of the book is all comedy. It is based on altemate endings that mainly involve death by the crazy professor's inventions or a happy ending as well. The book is lots of fun and is always amusing because there are basically multiple variations of a boy name Simmy who when to get ice cream, but then needed to use the restroom at an inventor's home.
