So Wrong 2 by Michael Wagner and Wayne Bryant: Review

Hi folks,
I have another great book review to share with you.

So Wrong 2 

Michael Wagner and Wayne Bryant are back with So Wrong 2 and it appears they’ve learned NOTHING from their previous mistakes. With a fresh cast of inappropriate characters, including:
Nan the Forgetful Nudist,
Warren the One-Legged Wonder Dog,
Steve McSpleen (a real human spleen),
BIG Red Riding Hood
and Tomas the Tank,
there was never really any hope that this book would turn out sensible ... or reasonable ... or even tolerable. And it’s lived up to all expectations.

We loved So Wrong to bits...

If you are interested you can read my Goodreads Review

So Wrong 2 
Did not disappoint.

My six year old had her nose buried in it for quite a few nights, which is a clear sign of a hit. 

Once again we have the ever phonetically verbose Mitey Mikey with his life wisdom. My daughter did announce that she was smarter than Mikey, because he can't spell... he he, how humble they are with their youthly wisdom. 

Our favourite character is Warren the One-Legged Wonder Dog. I won't spoil it for you, but the little guy has guts and, well, only one leg, but his tail makes up for what he lacks in traditional appendages.

Once again Michael has poked fun at some rather illustrious classics with wit and humour that keeps getting better. Our favourite add break was Body Parts R Us, and I am keen to put some So Inappropriate tips into action, so look out at the next wedding, or perhaps hospital visit for some wildly inappropriate behaviour...

Wayne Bryant is a master at hilarious depictions of Michael's words. What a humourforce (I made that word up, if Mitey Mikey can, so can I...) they've become.

The verdict is in! This is going to be another book that reluctant and confident readers will gobble up. 
We can hardly wait for a third installment...

Quick Review: Family Hugs by Michael Wagner

Family Hugs 

by Michael Wagner

and Adam Carruthers

 Description: In this playful, but thoughtful picture book, illustrator Adam Carruthers perfectly captures the sentiments of four Michael Wagner poems about families and how they support and nurture their members. Suitable for pre-schoolers and early primary aged children, Family Hugs both warms the heart and tickles the funnybone, while providing much to reflect upon about how loving families function.

We got this for our boy wizard, aged 2, to add to our rapidly expanding library.

I was delighted Michael Wagner has published a book with Hugs as the theme.  I love the idea of a book about hugs, as my kids can't seem to get enough of them.  There must be something in them. Fuel for the soul I suspect.

 Our Review:

A big family cuddle, a spag bol dinner, a stern family meeting, even an arty family party, Family Hugs has it all. Or if perhaps your having a bad day, this book will chip away at at your despair. With such a motley family tree, Family Hugs will leave you with one monstrous family hug. Written in rhyme so delightful it will have you chortling from beginning to end, and illustrations I wish I could cut out and stick on my walls, we highly recommend this wonderful edition to your little people library. Great for ages 3-6
