Book Review: Gobbledy


Summary

Dexter always gets in trouble. He always brings critters at home, which his father doesn’t approve of. There was that tadpole in the bathtub, a feral cat in the backyard, and a chicken in the closet. One day, he finds a golden rock that hatches into an unidentified creature. Dexter names it Gobbledy because his brother, Dougal, says he gobbles anything. Brothers Dexter and Dougal, and their friend, Fi, hide Gobbledy the best way that they can to stay out of trouble. Later on, Dexter, Dougal, and Fi experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure as they protect Gobbledy from two goons who call themselves the Planetary Society.


Review

Gobbledy is a children’s book by Lis Anna-Langston. It’s an adorably wonderful story about an alien! I think Fi’s description of Gobbledy as someone who looks like a cross between a prairie dog, a chinchilla, and a cartoon, is so amusing. And there many cute and funny moments in the story that I enjoyed very much. The characters and the storyline are nostalgic that it brought me back to when I was a kid who adored the movie, E.T. Of course, this is nothing like that because this book has its own precious moments to remember.


I’m giving this 5 out of 5 stars. It’s the perfect story to read during the holidays or any day when you need to brighten up. This book has beautiful illustrations and pristine editing, something that I rarely find in books, because even the most famous and bestselling novels have errors in them. I recommend it to ALL readers. I’m sure that kids and even adults will enjoy the adventure it brings, just like I did.
