The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles
Sade Nov 20, 2008
There are many things you learn from books. You learn about new worlds, imagination, and how to believe. Well, this book acquires all of these things. “The last of the really great Whangdoodles” is such a good book for the young and old. It is one of my favorite books because it made my im...

I haven't read this book in many, many years, and I had fun reading it as an adult. (I did, however, have to suspend my concerns about the Potter children being told by the professor, a relative stranger at the time, to keep their project a secret from their parents. A mother's perspective, I suppos...

'Faugh' and 'pifflesticks' to those who think this book doesn't retain the charm and magic of when we experienced it as children. As professor Savant sadly says, 'those people have lost their imagination entirely'.If you, as an adult, still look for fairies in the shadows around streams, see the mas...

I first read this when I was about 12, and have re-read it at least 10 times. I adore this book and its message to never give up your imagination. My random thoughts on this book: + I think it is actually a much more poignant book to read as an adult. + When I was 12, I wanted to be in an all-girl b...

3.5 stars for this one.I got really depressed when I started reading this book because Julie Andrews lied to me. She says in the intro about the Whangdoodle: "I had discovered him in my Webster's Dictionary. I assure you he is there. Go look him up." Um, there is NO "whangdoodle" in my big fat herki...

Okay, maybe I'm a little loose with the 5 star ratings...but, for me, this book is totally worth the 5 stars.I never read this one as a child and read it recently only for book club. The theme was about rediscovering childhood and YA books as adults. I loved this. I love the whimisical nature of the...

The Whangdoodle was once the wisest, the kindest, and the most extraordinary creature in the world. Then he disappeared and created a wonderful land for himself and all the other remarkable animals — the ten-legged Sidewinders, the little furry Flukes, the friendly Whiffle Bird, and the treach...

It truly is indeed the best fantasy book I have ever read. The adventure of an old professor and three little children; Benjamin, Thomas, and Melinda. I find that stories with younger children as the main characters have such a thrill to them. Even stories with old people as main characters are love...

The title of this book could just as easily be pulp porn as a children's book. In fact the first time I saw the title I really did think it was about something else Really Big. But there are lots of these innuendos hidden in children's books fromShel Silverstein's The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, ...
