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 imagination 10x’s stronger than it was before. This book deals with good and bad mythical creatures, beautiful landscapes, and a very difficult quest. The things I liked most about this book was the professor, the forest, and the imagery of the story.



The thing I last about this book was the professor. I forgot his name but he is my idol. He is a short man, lives in a mansion, and is a genius. He discovers the portal to the land of the great Whangdoodles. The professor is my idol because instead of worrying about bills and mortgage and the government, he wants to save the last of the really great Whangdoodles. Wouldn’t you like an adult who cares about mythical creatures rather than the bills?



The part I liked second about this book was the forest. The way Julie Andrews Edwards described it made me fall in love with it. The forest had humongous flowers, a river that looked like a field of diamonds, and fruits your not supposed to eat. In the forest, your not supposed to pick flowers or eat the fruit. The point of those things is to keep everything beautiful. The forest in the story made me think of the damage we humans have done to our most precious forest. If only this book was made a mandatory story in schools, more people and children would want to keep our forest beautiful and restore the natural beauty they once had.



The thing I liked most about this book was the wonderful imagery. This book is filled with blacks and whites and rainbows and squares and circles that I don’t know where to begin. The way the scenes were described and depicted, I feel in love immediately. As I have described above, the forest to me was the most colorful scene. The darkest scene was the professor’s mansion. I saw so many blacks and whites that I thought I was watching a black and white movie. I loved how even the smallest thing was described in perfect detail. A good example was the hats the children and the professor had to wear to enter the land of the Whangdoodles. Even the shape was described. At one point, I thought I could taste the fruit and smell the flowers.



This book has all of the elements any good book should have. Even though this book is for kids, this book should is good enough for anyone. I guarantee it! Even though most people assume the best books are books about real life problems or events, some of the best books could be about a Whangdoodle or Jaborwock. I truly recommend this book to anyone who wants to go a little out of the comfort area or for a parent trying to find a good book for there child. If you see a book with a bird with fish scales, don’t just pass it, read it. What would you do if a short, old man offered you to go the land of the really great Whangdoodles?
