review 1: Toddie, the wicked big toddlah, goes to New York with his family. Everything is perfect...until Toddie goes missing. Will this gigantic toddler ever find his family in the big city? This was just a confusing book to me. Granted, I didn't read the first book (this is a sequel) but I think that I would have been just as mystified. First of all, the idea of a huge toddler didn't click with me; second of all, a huge toddler getting lost from his parents didn't settle with me either. Then, as they are a family from Maine, I imagine they were speaking with an Eastern accent but the language felt inconsistent and sometimes I didn't even know what they were trying to say. Not a fan, there are better books to spend precious library money on.
review 2: Didn't realize tha... moret this was a sequel which would explain my confusion at the beginning of the book. However, I think I would still have mixed feelings about this one even if I had read the first book. The illustrations are fun and really bring the story alive, but still thinking about this gigantic toddler's adventure in NYC while on vacation with his family. I mean really - how can parents lose a giant toddler??? less
