Why read it?

1 author picked The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

My fifth-grade teacher read this book to my class in 1987, and it lit my imagination on fire!

I would have gone to school, even if it were optional while she was reading this story about three children who learn how to “see” their way to a world of magic and adventure. They ultimately discover myriad and sundry wonderful creatures in a fantasy world where wonder abounds.

I love the understanding that magic is right under our noses, just waiting to be discovered!
