A review by John Enzinas
The Adventures of the Princess and Mr. Whiffle: The Thing Beneath the Bed
is explicitly not a children's book, although it is written like one with the short descriptive sentences and lots
of pictures. It's written for someone who has read a lot of not-so-great children's books and needs something
like a mental sorbet to cleanse the pallet and prepare themselves for one more reading of Hamster Hewey and
the Gooey Kablooie.
Once you've made it to the end, past the happy ending and the scary ending all the way to the real ending, you
can go back to the beginning and find all of the little clues that Mr. Taylor left for you. If you are really
lucky, you might even have a child you can read this to instead of Hamster Hewey.
John Enzinas reads frequently and passionately. In his spare time he plays with swords. |
