My Review:
Snoodles in Space, Episode 2: The Zoodles Strike Back, by Steven Joseph, illustrated by Andy Case, is the third installment of the Snoodles series. In this vibrant children’s chapter book, the Zoodles seek revenge by teaming up with a grimy millionaire to poison Earth’s water supply, aiming to turn everyone into Willy Nillys and Dilly Dallys. Briana and Ricky must save the day, with the help of the outcast kids from the other side of the tracks.
This book is a delightful read, full of colorful illustrations and whimsical writing. Joseph’s playful language and imaginative storytelling bring to mind the charm of Robert Munsch, Dr. Seuss, and Roald Dahl all rolled into one. The plot is engaging, with enough twists to keep children hooked, while Case’s bright and colorful illustrations bring the story to life. It may appeal to a somewhat older audience than Dr. Seuss and Munsch, making it a perfect next step for children seeking a more advanced yet equally enjoyable reading experience.
This book brought back the joy of reading Munsch stories aloud, which are always so fun to share with others. The whimsicality of the words is as fun as Dr. Seuss, and the magical journeys are akin to Roald Dahl’s timeless tales. The narrative flows effortlessly, making it perfect for both young readers and adults who enjoy reading to them.
Snoodles in Space, Episode 2 captures the imagination and hearts of readers with its vibrant pictures and engaging storyline. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a magical experience that delights both the young and the young at heart.
