Food for the imagination although a little long takes you to a wonderful, magical place
Helpful Score: 2
This is a wonderful story about imagination and friendship. Three children use their imaginations to enter a wonderful land full of amazing things -- one of my favorites was the Wangdoodle's Soda Fountain on the Jolly Boat. The best part is that the children have to work together as a team and they have to LISTEN to each other and their helpers. A fun book for anyone, young or old. The author is Julie Andrews who was known for her roles in the Sound of Music and other movies. She writes as well as she acts . . .
A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, but makes for a sickly sweet book.
Overall, a decent book that most children would enjoy.
Great book! I've read it to my students as well as my own sons.

He tells them all about the wise and magical creatures who disappearded to another land because people stopped believing in them. and the professor invites them on a quest to ind the latest Whangdoodle.....
This book was a very good read, enjoyable. Would greatly recommend.

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.
