Title: Very Disappointing for our family
Product review: I read this book aloud to my 3 oldest children (13,11,8 yo).To be fair, it had some good qualities:It was funny in some places, although usually just to ME; Most of the humor went right over the heads of my children who were in the intended age range! It did have a likeable main character, and a likeable secondary character (the "Gawgon".)But these qualities were not enough to redeem this book. The eccentric relatives were apparently added for comedic effect or possibly to lengthen a rather short book. But they were just WEIRD to us and left us wondering why they were even mentioned... to torment us? Yuck. We'd rather have more interaction between the main characters.For some reason, few paragraphs were more than a sentence or two long. You just don't appreciate a well-organized paragraph until you read through an entire book without them.My kids like almost anything I read to them. They were glad when this one was over (SO WAS I.)
