Representaion In Favor Of Books The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles

The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles was the second children’s novel ever written by Julie Andrews, the beloved star of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. Perfect for young readers who love whimsical stories about magic! 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 treacherous, "oily" Prock. It was an almost perfect place where the last of the really great Whangdoodles could rule his kingdom with "peace, love and a sense of fun"—apart from and forgotten by people. But not completely forgotten. Professor Savant believed in the Whangdoodle. And when he told the three Potter children of his search for the spectacular creature, Lindy, Tom, and Ben were eager to reach Whangdoodleland. With the Professor's help, they discovered the secret way. But waiting for them was the scheming Prock, who would use almost any means to keep them away from his beloved king. Only by skill and determination were the four travelers able to discover the last of the really great Whangdoodles and grant him his heart's desire. The novel was originally published in 1974. This edition includes a foreword by Julie Andrews.

Commentary Out Of Books The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles

This book is pure fun!I stumbled upon our tattered edition with the red sky, golden river, and blue grass when skimming the book shelf and remembered how much I loved this book. I had read it many times during elementary school; it was a beloved favorite.I thought that as this is a whimsical imagination story, it would not call up images as other, more realistic books do. Instead, I found myself living the story more than I had in a while, feeling Lindy's terror at the Prock, being in Ben's

This is such a classic children's fantasy book! I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't get to read it as a kid, but I am glad that I found it later on. It seems like it would make a really great read-aloud to a group of students. As often seen in children's fiction, a lot of it is really convenient, parts of it are really predictable, but it all makes for a great story, and there are some great suspenseful bits along the way. There are a lot of smaller conflicts that quickly get resolved, under

2011 review: A magical tale. 2015: I read it as a child and I still love it. I just read it aloud to my daughter and she fell in love. This book is amazing.

A delightful and magical romp. Romp is the defining word here - magic ice cream machines, a ship called the Jolly Roger that sails via the energy of laughs and jokes, motorcycles creatures . . . the fun is endless. There were several times when I was laughing out loud - a rarity for me. I read the book in one sitting and was transported on the most wild adventure - where the plot twists are just as scrumptious and complex as the delightful words that permeate the book - words like Whangdoodle,

'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 massive shapes of mythical beasts in clouds, or laugh at the oddest things, finding joy and amusement where others scowl discouragingly - then there is still hope for you!Every part of this book is joy

The Potter children are at the zoo, discussing what sort of animal they might like to take home, when a stranger speaks up. "Have you ever considered a Whangdoodle?" Over the next several weeks, Ben, Tom, and Lindy spend time with the quirky Dr. Savant, who helps them open their eyes, use their imaginations, and believe in possibilities ... and in preparation to take them to visit Whangdoodleland. This is a whimsical, well-behaved story with a strong moral compass. It's silly and punny and full
