Product Description
From Amazon
What on earth is a Whangdoodle? A "fanciful creature of undefined nature," it was also once the wisest, kindest, most fun-loving living thing in the world--until people stopped believing in it. When that lack of faith became widespread, the last of the really great Whangdoodles created a special land full of extraordinary creatures: furry Flukes, the sly High-Behind Splintercat, and the wonderful Whiffle Bird. But when an open-minded professor--the one adult who still believes in the Whangdoodle--joins forces with three children with active imaginations, they become an unstoppable team on a fantastic and sometimes terrifying journey to Whangdoodleland.
Readers who have explored Narnia, Oz, or Willy Wonka's chocolate factory will be thrilled at this new destination--a marvelous land that will inspire and stimulate creative and scientific minds. And who better to expose young readers to new ways of seeing, smelling, and hearing than Julie (Andrews) Edwards of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music fame? Her lively and clever style pulls readers along effortlessly; she, like the professor, is one grownup who can teach children never to close their minds to possibility. (Ages 9 to 12) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Extremely Predictable,
By Emily Neil (Provo, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Last Really Great Wangdo (Paperback)
I'm sorry to say that this book was really bad. The plot was very predictable. The names of the characters were so cheesy, and everything that happened to them seemed to be made up by a seven year old. I'd say it's a good book to practice reading on, because it is an easy read, but the story stinks. Don't waste your money.

The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles,
By An 8-year old reader (Madison, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Last Really Great Wangdo (Paperback)
This is a book full of action, fantasy, and color. It is unique compared to any other book I have read. When you are reading the book, it is like you are being sucked into the magical world where the story takes place. The details help you to create images in your head, but also leave enough out so that you can form your own picture. This is a fantasizing page-turner for all ages from 7-11 years old.When Benjamin, Melinda, and Thomas Potter meet Professor Savant at the zoo and he tells them about a strange and mysterious creature called the whangdoodle, the adventure begins. After they convince the professor that they are worthy of seeing the whangdoodle in Whangdoodleland, they start long, hard training sessions of imagination and awareness. When a creature called the prok (Prime Minister of the Whangdoodle) finds out that the children and the professor are going to Whangdoodleland, he does everything he can to stop them, and eventually goes to last resort -- kidnap!
