Pretty cute concept and some darling moments ("the children who live in apartments don't even need to walk downstairs. They hop out their windows and slide down to their seats."). The flow of the book is rather child-like with a logical progression of events that seem oddly pieced together, yet they totally make sense. Gus is big and is hard to navigate through the city streets, he creates a lot of damage, the bills start piling up, the principal takes him off the streets, Gus hides in the gym and cries because he is sad, he creates a pool of tears that children play in and everything's well because now he's a piece of play equipment. The last part seems weird but it makes sense, doesn't it?!
