Last year, my daughter read this book and came home saying it was the best book she had ever read. She recommended it to me. At first, I was a little bit skeptical. I thought it was just a little fairytale for children, but I was wrong. My daughter began learning and sharing new and healthy lessons with me that she had learned from the book. Now, I can't wait to read it.

I read this to my 7yo son and 8yo daughter. I enjoyed it as much as they did!

This book is a great display of imagination and creativity...but my dictionary does not have any entry for "whangoodle"...then again, it also does not have an entry for "disestablishmentarianism". My 10-yr old daughter & I love reading this, and I've noticed my 14-year old son listening in as well!

I brought this book for my god daughter and i wanted to read it first so she was able to come to me to talk about the book. It is a wonderfully well written book that allows the reader to open their minds to pure imagination, where nothing can stand in your way. Julie Andrews Edwards has produced an amazing book that i would recommend to any age group! Even us big children at heart. The use of words is very different from what you see now a days and she hasn't tried to 'dumb it down' for children it talks to them as though they were they stood in front of the professor learning his teachings. The book was brilliant fun to read and i can not wait till my god daughter starts to read it.

I would say that I'm very much like Professor Savant. I need a dose of the imagination of a child to help me along the way. The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles was the kind of book I would have loved reading as a child. I would have read it over and over again savoring each nuance of color and flavor that this book has to offer. As an adult, I feel that there are some lessons in the story that seem a bit forced but the concept that the imagination is a powerful tool is a good reminder for kids of all ages.
It is the story of the three Potter children who meet Professor Savant at the zoo one day and then later again on Halloween night. He tells them about a mysterious creature called the Whangdoodle. They're not sure whether to believe him or not. But he offers to train them so they can go to Whangdoodleland and meet the last of the Whangdoodles.
The professor teaches the children how to perceive and imagine more deeply than they had before. Lindy, the youngest, learns most quickly. But soon they all put on their 'scrappy caps' and take several journeys to this land of imagination. They find many wonders and a few dangers along the way.
I was worried that the book would falter in the end. But it was quite an interesting way of wrapping things up. The message voices many of the questions we have about life now even though the book was written more than 30 years ago.
This is a well-written book full of wonderful detail and an engrossing story. I recommend this for any child and more than a few adults who need to revisit the imagination of their childhood.
