Prince Puggly of Spud and the Kingdom of Spiff
Weston is back in rhyming style with a book about princes and princesses, kings and kingdoms, and what it means to look good in polka-dot bell-bottoms.
Prince Puggly of the muddy, supremely unfashionable Kingdom of Spud is surprised when he receives an invitation to a lavish ball in the far trendier Kingdom of Spiff. The poorly-dressed prince is sure that the Spiffs will take one look at him and laugh him out of their kingdom...
And that's exactly what they do! But then Puggly meets Francesca, the bookish Princess of Spiff, and together the two set out to teach Francesca’s Spiffian countrymen an absurd lesson in style.

I can't believe the book was all in rhyme.
It made reading it an excellent time.
If Seuss and Dahl are something you like,
then this book will fill you with excite.
I'll recommend this to many a friend
cuz the cutest part had to be the end.

I received this book as part of the first readers giveaways in exchange for an honest review. I have to say that this book was so much fun! Written completely in rhyme, the author also uses the page space in fun and innovative ways. This book is great for children from grade 4-6, even for those who don't like reading much. It's also great for adults who like children's literature. The story is about a prince from a not so hip kingdom and not so hip princess from a very hip kingdom. I won't give much away but I hope those who read this enjoy it as much as I did. Since this is the advance reader's copy, I hope the final copy has some colours to the illustrations and the words in special fonts. Other than that I loved the book and the special twist ending!
Edited to add: the author did a great job rhyming a 200 page book with some great choice in vocabulary. It was no easy feat I am sure!

Clever. Funny. A longer slightly more mature Seuss-like read. Theme: Be your own person. Who you are can't be measured by what you wear. It's more important to consider the content of someone's character. My boys were reluctant to read "poetry" or a book in verse but it's one our summer reading challenges. And surprisingly, they both enjoyed it; the oldest reading ahead. The 10 year old rated it 4.5 stars and the 8 year old rated it 5 stars. Well worth it.

This was wacky, witty, and wonderful. I loved it. It had detailed descriptions of the kingdoms (specifically of Spiff and Spud), the characters, and their clothes, which were often in the spotlight. The illustrations made the story even more entertaining; the only thing that could have made them better were if they were in color. I would love to see all the many outrageous outfits worn in the Kingdom of Spud.
“In Spiff, every hairpiece was natty and neat, while in Spud? They seemed to be scraped off the street. On their scalps, it looked like a jungle had bloomed. But that’s how they liked it. It’s how they were groomed.”
“So too with their clothes; they could never be missed. For a Spudlian outfit would often consist of polka-dot trousers, a checkered chemise, with tiger-print patches on the elbows and knees.” Wild and weird was their style. The King said “We dress like we’re drunk.”
This definitely makes for a fun family read. The fonts added some spice too as they sparkled, were groovy, or crawling with spiders. It had a few funny chapter titles too—my favorite “The Nicomest Poop.” It had a positive message about being yourself with confidence and not judging others by what they wear. When the King of Spiff insulted Prince Puggly’s clothes the Spudlian people responded: “King Dandy von Fop, you insufferable dunce! Our prince may dress oddly, but none of us mind. We know that this boy is unselfish and kind! He’s our leader! Our chief! And we don’t give a fig if there’s too many curls in his powdery wig!”
One of many flamboyant characters was the hippie Shaman. “Take it from me. That Spiffian dude? He’s out of his tree. Completely neurotic, you see what I mean? He’s gotta chill out, lay off the caffeine.” Even Puggly’s spunky grandma grabbed my attention. She encouraged her grandson “Who cares what they think! If they say you’re unstylish, you tell ‘em: they stink!”
“Frannie, the princess of Spiff, who lived in the castle, on the edge of that cliff. Frannie, you see…she just didn’t care. She rarely dressed up or embellished her hair. She never wore dresses or elegant coats. She wore only pajamas. They were printed with boats.” Her hair was crazy and she sat atop cushions reading books. I loved her. I’d love to do that all day, like a mini-staycation. Her father, the King, continuously lectured her on fashion “As you know very well, I’m so hip that it hurts. My pants are like heaven—and so are my shirts.” That cracked me up.
The King of Spiff visited the kingdom of Spud wearing boots because it’s covered in mud. “Your boots,” Puggly said. “What’s the story with those? They don’t seem to go with the rest of your clothes.” “I know!” cried the stranger, stomping one giant boot. “These galoshes have ruined the whole of my suit! They’re ugly, they’re drab, they dig into my gut, and you have no idea how they chafe in the butt!”
This was a giant helping of silliness. An engaging story with a clever twist at the end.

Hilarious poetry in verse. A fantastic read aloud. Includes some shape/concrete poetry type sections.

Prince Puggly of Spud and the Kingdom of Spiff is the second novel in verse from Mr. Robert Paul Weston. After reading Zorgamazoo and falling desperately in love with that book, I of course needed to read this second book in verse, not at all related to the plot and characters of Zorgamazoo.
While Zorgamazoo was a pinch of Seuss mixed with a whole lot of Roald Dahl, Prince Puggly of Spud and the Kingdom of Spiff was a whole lot of Seuss mixed with a dallop of Dahl. Zorgamazoo was darker in tone and more complex in plot and nearly a hundred pages longer. Prince Puggly of Spud and the Kingdom of Spiff was far lighter in tone, somewhat superficial in plot (although not superficial in moral:-), and as I mentioned almost a hundred pages shorter than Zorgamazoo.
In my heart, I probably loved Zorgamazoo more because there is more to love and the characters go through a much more harrowing storyline that it is hard not to get invested in everything about Zorgamazoo with your total heart because Robert Paul Weston will break it slowly and put it back together again.
Prince Puggly of Spud and the Kingdom of Spiff is not a very complex story, in fact, you will likely have a clue as to the moral before finishing the first chapter. However, it is much more FUN to read out loud because the characters here are outlandish and dramatic and if you're game you can use A LOT of really funny voices. This book would make children laugh out loud if read well and hopefully teach them a lesson that definitely needs to be taught.
Some books will make you laugh.
Some books will make you cry.
Robert Paul Weston has written one of each, in verse no less, and I love both of them in their own special way!

October 13, 2019I loved this book. It was written in rhyming verse, and it was super funny. My whole class liked it too, as a read aloud. I’d recommend ages 3rd to 5th grade.

I'm so glad Robert Paul Weston did another novel in verse after Zorgamazoo! It seemed a little simpler than Zorgamazoo, more a young child's fairy tale, but it works! It's about some small conflicts between the kingdom of Spud, where everyone wears crazy clothes, and the Kingdom of Spiff, where everyone wears the height of fashion.
My favorite part is the moral: neither style is really better than the other, everyone should be free to try the clothes they want (as long as they don't get a rash), and there are more important things in life than the clothes a person wears. The moral was done very well; Weston starts with his characters having big misconceptions as if they're true, then shows them changing their minds, and ends with the fairy-tale moral, rather than having one character educate the rest or using his status as narrator to beat the reader over the head with it.
And, finally, the poetry is delightful. This would make a great read-aloud, or a good choice for older fans of Dr. Seuss.

I won a copy of the book through Goodreads Giveaways.
After I finished reading it, there was so much I wanted to say!
I guess calling it delightful would describe it well
And I'm now a fan of Puggly's great-granny, that I can surely tell.
The way it was written and the layout
Impressed me so much that with no doubt
I decided to mirror the book and rhyme.
As you can see I'm not as good as Robert Paul Weston, but that's fine
Because I just needed to highly recommend the book through this review
And to say to Goodreads and to the author: thank you!!!

I may be an adult (supposedly!), but this book was a ton of fun to read - I kept bugging my husband by reading verses out loud!
You can't help it - if you're reading silently, you're voicing the verses in your head, and if you're reading out loud, you literally CAN'T keep from doing the different voices.
I can't imagine a more fun book for reading to your children! Or any children! What an absolute ball!
(And I don't even HAVE children - just 3 cats and a sometimes very annoyed and indulgent husband, lol).
:D

Robert Paul Weston’s novel-in-verse is delightfully adorable and entertaining! The Kingdom of Spud crowns Puggly their prince because of his outrageous clothing, but he is not accepted by neighbouring kingdoms due to their supposedly, stylish clothing. With the help of Princess Francesca from the Kingdom of Spiff, Prince Puggly helps everyone overcome their conceited fashion trends, all under his great-granny’s watchful eye.

This book is so FUN. I loved the story, the characters, the message, the vocabulary, and the best part - it's written in rhyming verse! It would be great to read with your kids, so they can see the fun fonts used, hear the verse, and learn new words. Super fun!

This is 100% juvenile fiction (which is why my book group denied it) but it was wonderfully clever. The fun writing fonts and pictures on the pages and the whole thing rhymed. My 9 year old son and I had a blast reading it.

I loved this author’s first book Zorgamazoo so much I had to try this one for my kids..you can truly read it in one sitting as the rhymes alone make you smile and mouth along to hear the cadence...this one makes me want to read this one aloud to students so bad though I am not all the way sure if I can pull off the whimsy these books deserve and the correct pauses, pronunciations, and then you lose the text features that make the words come off the page and provide such visual interest…....Ah okay so to begin this book incorporates not only rhymes and great plot but also literary devices to make this so readable and fun as it tells the tale of the kingdom of Spiff where it was all about fashion---
“Spiff, after all, was a kingdom of taste, where following fashion was fully embraced; and nowhere was fashion in evidence more than in clothes-of the sort that the Spiffians wore.
This was a kingdom that dressed to the nines, where everyone sported the latest designs.
They would leap up like lemmings to follow a craze. They were victims of fashion in all the worst ways” (Pg. 3)
Though there was one person in Spiff who didnt care about fashion and that was Princess Frannie who preferred staying in pajamas and reading books all day much to the disapproval of her fashion forward father King Dandy---
“I’m sorry,” said Frannie. “That isn’t my thing, and please-don’t remind me that you are ‘the king’ I’m aware of all that, but I’d rather just read. My books and my cushions are all that I need.” (Pg. 10)
“Reading all of those books has made you insane! It has poisoned your spirit and addled your brain! You no longer see clothes in their natural role, when in fact they’re the core of the Spiffian soul!” (Pg. 48)
In the midst of another argument about Princess Frannie’s choice of clothes the King also reminds her of the annual Ball taking place that Saturday ---at the same time you are introduced to the Kingdom of Spiff’s neighbor, the Kingdom of Spud where they tried their hardest to dress their worst, their weirdest and their most ill-fitting. With their current king questioning his own belief in their wacky clothes he leaves the kingdom and with no one to rule them the town goes in search of a leader and come up with the weird dressing Puggly O’Bungleton and the people ask him to be their Prince--and he had only one request and that was to also bring his great-grandmother..
“Puggly explained with a quake in his voice, he’d been given a rather magnificent choice:
The Spudlian people had come to demand that Puggly himself become Prince of the Land.” (Pg. 30)
As Prince Puggly is set to be crowned the King of Spiff and his daughter Frannie get into another argument about her fashion and penchant for reading which leads to her father ordering all the books in the kingdom to be banned..
With all this going on it add to it the wise old great-grandmother and the two protagonists being brought into each other’s lives to come up with a plan to open the eyes of all those who are slaves to fashion and hopefully change the fate of their kingdoms so everyone could be who they want...
This book is just as loveable as Zorgamazoo and I truly commend the author for his wit in rhyming every single word, having his text dance and fly around the page, and effortlessly weaving the most advanced and elementary vocabulary into stories with morals, heart and humor.I am in awe of the work that must have went into these seemingly simple and fun reads...I stand by the recommendation that these are wonderful children books that are as engaging as they are educational--you definitely get a word refresher even as an adult.....this verse novel is just amazing and so super fun! I am such a fan of this author!!!

It's a pretty charming story with lots of Seussian-style rhymes, which actually introduces quite a bit of vocabulary. My three-year-old didn't fully enjoy it, but I think he was a bit too young to really follow the story, but I could see him really liking it in a few years.
The morals of accepting people for who they are and putting them in positions because they are suited for them, and not just because it's expected, are certainly valuable for kiddos (and adults, too!)

A clever (and silly) novel-in-verse which distinctly details the perils of being a fashion follower, a fashion slave, a clothes horse...and the defiant Prince of Spud, Puggly, who defies the surrounding kingdoms and marches to his own drummer.
Prince Puggly of Spud and the Kingdom of Spiff would be a blast to read-aloud to an attentive audience (even if they are reluctant readers).

A solid 3 stars. I really liked the idea of a chapter book done in typical picture book rhyme, as well as the way the author used text to "illustrate" the story. However, in actual execution, it fell flat for me. It was a cute enough story, but the need to keep the rhyme seemed to sometimes cause the story to be far too repetitive in parts.
January 6, 2020
The story is told in rhyme, and is extremely challenging for readers with Dyslexia as the text changes font size and style. Also the sentences, words and lettering are printed askew, making it incredibly difficult to read.
January 11, 2020
It was really cool and I loved how there where lots of rhymes throughout the whole book! I also loved how there were some words that where designed to kind of describe what it looked like! Ultimately this is my new favourite book of 2020!

My kids & I enjoyed reading through the rhymes of this book, along with the symboled writing zig zagging. Reminded me if Seuss books at times the way paragraphs were phrased. Different from other kids chapter books with its creativity & fun plot

Fun and interesting read.
It was a bit repetitive in parts.
I had trouble reading it in my head so I ended up reading it aloud to myself and that was much better.
I enjoyed the creativity and the rhythm of the rhymes.
