Summary: 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.

My Review:
This is
a great book for kids. It is simple, but fun and magical. I felt it
was too simple for an adult to get really engaged in the story. But
it is all about imagination and believing in things even when no one
else does. It was cute. It will be a great book to read with our
children someday! :)
