Ilustration During Books The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles

The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles was the second children’s novel ever written by Julie Andrews, the beloved star of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. Perfect for young readers who love whimsical stories about magic!

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.

The novel was originally published in 1974. This edition includes a foreword by Julie Andrews.

3.5 stars for this one.I got really depressed when I started reading this book because Julie Andrews lied to me. She says in the intro about the Whangdoodle: "I had discovered him in my Webster's Dictionary. I assure you he is there. Go look him up." Um, there is NO "whangdoodle" in my big fat herkin' Webster's New World Dictionary. I looked three times. Julie Andrews lied to me. That's so depressing. It's like having frigging Mary Poppins lie to you! My favorite things about Whangdoodleland:

This is such a classic children's fantasy book! I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't get to read it as a kid, but I am glad that I found it later on. It seems like it would make a really great read-aloud to a group of students. As often seen in children's fiction, a lot of it is really convenient, parts of it are really predictable, but it all makes for a great story, and there are some great suspenseful bits along the way. There are a lot of smaller conflicts that quickly get resolved, under

Whew...just got back from an amazing adventure. Oh yes...was back from Whangdoodleland and I have much to tell.Saw the book first at Booksale. Wasn't able to buy it though coz when I got the chance, I couldn't find it anymore. I was lucky enough to buy a copy at Lopues East. And whoa...cheaper.I was curious about the book. Not to mention it's written by Julie (Andrews) Edwards. It's about this rare magical creature called 'whangdoodle' who isolated himself from humanity to save his life from

One of my favorite books as a child, I still adore The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles. It's a creative fantasy that makes you think and dream. It was one of those books that got me reading independently as a kid, and I've read it several times since then.And just let me say that I can still smell marshmallows in a marshmallow-less room. :P~Kellyn Roth, Reveries Reviews

I haven't read this book in many, many years, and I had fun reading it as an adult. (I did, however, have to suspend my concerns about the Potter children being told by the professor, a relative stranger at the time, to keep their project a secret from their parents. A mother's perspective, I suppose.)A tale of complete fantasy that's simple and fun and sweet. I'm looking forward to reading this to my own kids someday.I would probably give this four stars as an adult, but I remember being so

2011 review: A magical tale. 2015: I read it as a child and I still love it. I just read it aloud to my daughter and she fell in love. This book is amazing.

Sooooo amazing. One of the greatest kids' books ever written. And by Julie Andrews - yes, that Julie Andrews! A lady who clearly has an incredible mind and imagination. Every kid should read this book.
