I am in love with Dave, Morley, Stephanie, and Sam. Any of the Vinyl Cafe books are amazing, and are absolutely hilarious!

I can see why Stuart McLean is one of Canada's beloved storytellers through the warmth, humanity and humor of his stories. My favorite stories came early in the book, one of them being "Turkey" which starts off both the book and the Winter section. The description of the turkey before it was roasted had me and my husband howling with laughter. Another favorite is the one about the birthday party, especially the scene where Dave tries to frost the cake while it is still warm. My husband recently made the same mistake when he was frosting my birthday cake. I think there is enough depth to this collection of stories that most any one can come away with a favorite story or at least a favorite scene.

Great, as usual.

Very charming and enjoyable, a nice easy, feel-good read. I still haven't actually listened to McLean's show but I'm glad to have finally got a chance to enjoy his work, especially after looking through his records for a school project.

Folks - this is the one. "Dave Cooks the Turkey" is in here, and if you've not read it, you owe yourself to find this book and read it. Stuart McLean is Canada's Stephen Leacock Award-winning humorist with just enough wit and fun to the works that they're not silly, they're real-life hilarious.

I always enjoy the stories of Stuart McLean, though I usually prefer to hear them read by the author. I love that I can easily sit down and read a quick story between chores, or while waiting to pick up a child. This particular compilation isn't my favourite, but still a good one.

This entire book was a delight to read, from the first page. Stuart McLean really is a master storyteller. He has created characters and a community that make you feel like you're a part of it. I love every character, and reading about their escapades. At one point I was laughing so hard that I was crying! I don't think a book has ever made me laugh that hard before!

Loved. What more can I say? I can always count on Stuart McLean and Dave and Morley's family to entertain me!

I have "Polly Anderson's Christmas Party" on a holiday CD, and it took me several years to think to look up the storyteller. From there it took me a few hours to get my hands on one of his books, which coincidentally has that very story in it. These are great fun, the kind of domestic humor you can relate to precisely BECAUSE it's all a little over the top. I think my favorite story is Burd, although the funniest one is when Dave cooks the turkey. I'm referring here to my favorites from the ones new to me--Polly Anderson's will always have a special place in my heart. These are, after all, stories meant to be performed, not read.
