Wedgie & Gizmo Vs. the Toof
by Suzanne Selfors
from the publisher's site:
Wedgie LOVES the new micro-pig next door. And she LOVES him! They both like to go for walks and roll in smelly things. They are going to be in the school pet parade together. They are best friends.
But Gizmo knows the truth. The pig is Wedgie’s new sidekick. Super Wedgie and the Toof have teamed up to stop Gizmo from taking over the world.
my thoughts:
This series had me hooked from the word "corgi" and it does not disappoint. Wedgie is adorable and fun, and I just want to squeeze him. Gizmo is frightfully intelligent, and more than a little arrogant.
One of my favorite things about this series is the way Selfors alternates the chapters between Gizmo's and Wedgie's perspectives. They can each experience the same event, but have wildly different ideas about what happened. Aside from Wedgie and Gizmo, my favorite character is Abuela. She is the only person in the family who is aware of how intelligent Gizmo is, but no one will listen to her. It makes for some amusing conversations.
If you like fun books about cute critters, then you need to check out Wedgie & Gizmo Vs. the Toof today. If you haven't read the first story, Wedgie & Gizmo, then definitely give that one a read too. I think this one would make a great read aloud in a classroom or library (probably going to try it with my book club kids), or just at home with a parent and child.
How about you? Have you read either book yet? What are your thoughts?
How I acquired this book:
The author sent me a pre-published copy in exchange for an honest review.
