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.

It was a strange day at the zoo when Lindy, Tom, and Ben met Professor Savant. They thought he was strange when he told them about Whangdoodles but figured he was harmless and they'd never see him again. Until Halloween when Lindy said she would knock at the spookiest house on the block and who should it belong to but Professor Savant. The children had been noodling over what he said and he invites them to come learn with him how to get to Whangdoodleland to try and meet the very Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles. They will need to use every bit of imagination they possess and learn how to harness it properly to make the trip and it will take several trips to try and get to his palace especially since the Prime Minister, Oily Prock, does not want them to disturb the Whangdoodle and will do everything in his power to stop them making it to the castle.
A sweet tale of never giving up and remembering how powerful your imagination can be. I've seen several reviews compare it to Oz and Narnia and it's very easy to see why but at the same time, it's a much gentler story than those so even children who are sensitive would likely enjoy it. Dame Edwards does not disappoint as this is just the kind of story you could see her Mary Poppins telling to children in her keeping.
Note, I see that some people have expressed concern about the children entering into secret packs with a stranger. First, the Professor is known the parents although the exact nature of the relationship with the children is not but he does make it a point to contact their parents and tell them he is giving them lessons. As a parent, I think this can be used as a teaching moment about good secrets vs. bad secrets and to have a frank discussion with your child about how this is lovely in literature but not something you would want them to be keeping from you in real life. If you are concerned about that content, maybe read it yourself and decide if it's the right thing for your family or not. Not every book is right for everyone and you know your situation best.
I noticed that during some scenes - the bike scene in particular - the narration alternated between simply worded sentences and complex metaphorical descriptions constructed from vocabulary a college graduate may not know. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but the style does seem to waiver somewhat in a few places, and could have been polished up a bit.
But, if you're like me, you'd take a fun unpolished story over a perfectly polished snoozer any day. It's too bad that most books out there are more like polished snoozers than anything else. No wonder lots of kids don't want to read. At least Julie Andrews knows how to make a fun and engaging story, filled with all sorts of fantastic visions. I mean...we see purple trees, a giant cat, a musical river, some ten-legged monsters, a train made of clouds, a VERY fluffy bird, and the Whangdoodle himself seems to be some kind of chameleon-moose with slippers growing out of his feet. If ever I've seen a cotton-candy book, this is it.
When Hollywood's looking for ideas for movies (which they probably are doing now after Snakes on a Plane) it couldn't hurt them to peer into this Whangdoodle book. Talk about something I'd like to see!
