Today's book chat topic from Sweet Green Tangerine is Children's Books.

One of my all-time favorite children's books is The Last of the Really Great Wangdoodles.

"The Whangdoodle was once the wisest, the kindest, and the most extraordinary creature in the world."













I don't know how to give a brief description without giving too much away. It's such a fantastical story about the power of imagination and I've never met anyone else who has heard of it which is really a shame. I've given copies as gifts and every kid (plus their parents) has loved it.  I can only recommend reading it for yourself because it really is wonderful!

  3. Reminds me a little of "The Whingdingdilly" by Bill Peet, though more or less just the title. Still, sounds very funny.

    Also thanks for the comment on my blog. I would've replied directly but your email address isn't attached to your comment. right now you're a "no reply blogger". If you do a google search with how to change that, it'll make it so people can reply to comments you leave on other blogs!

    Hope you're having a great weekend!
