Look at all those 5-star reviews!

This book was recommended to us, and I bought it on the strength of the reviews here. We were not disappointed. Our 7-year old loved every page as I read it to her.

You can trust the reviews in this case. Enjoy the book!

Blast from my past!

This book is amazing! My God sister used to keep us after school when we were young and she read this book one chapter a day. I couldn't wait to get to her home and pick up where we had left off from the day before.... As an adult I have searched for this book for years only to find out that it was out of print and that a local bookstore had 3 copies in the warehouse! Of course I bought all 3 and reread the Whangdoodles adventures as an adult and fell in love all over again! I ended up reading it to my 7th and 8th grade students and found them hanging on every word just as I did years ago. As an adult I was able to appreciate the adventure and fantasy but also found deeper meaning and morality in the story line. I recommend this book to all ages and am excited to see its 30th anniversary has put it back on the shelf!

THE BEST

I was given this book when I was in my teens. I have since given it to my children and now my grandchild. It teaches children to never lose the best thing we will ever have.....our imagination and the ability to believe in magic.
Someone should make this a movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best book by an actress!

I loved the last of the really great wangdoodles! Not only is it a fabulous book,. but it also show's anohter one of Julie Andrew's talents! It's very amusing and has very interesting charecters! GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

Something to celebrate

I must be one of that small band of people who came to know Julie Andrews first as a writer. LOTRGW was the book which turned me on to reading as a child. It was in the class library and is the first proper book I remember.

The story is wonderful and imaginative - a Wizard of Oz-style quest. Lindy, Tom and Ben meet a kindly professor who magics them to a strange kingdom in search of the last remaining whangdoodle. Of course they meet a fair number of challenges along the way - monsters disguised as motorbikes and two-faced friends - and their only hope of succeeding is to work as a team as they face a series of physical, emotional and moral obstacles.

My favorite creature is the brave, vain Whiffle Bird, who only speaks in emergencies and who I imagine as looking like something off Sesame Street. She is an unlikely but beguiling heroine.

My only sadness is that LOTRGW doesn't enjoy greater acclaim - to me it was the Harry Potter of its day. As an eight-year-old I found it practically perfect in every way and I couldn't have wished for a better introduction to the world of books.
