FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Bad Dude, who we met in Wedgieman to the Rescue, is up to no good again. This time, he's using his evil Powerful Ordinary-Object Phaser (also known as POOP) to change the size of things. He's created giant bees and giant bunnies who wind up terrorizing him until Wedgieman saves the day and puts the giant phaser out of commission--but not before Wedgieman creates a Giant Carrot Wedgie for the neighborhood kids there are giant carrots for everyone! Beginning readers (and their caregivers) will howl with delight over the ka-pow! humor and blam! illustrations.
A very funny book about a superhero named Wedgieman and a giant bunny. This is a very silly and humorous book in the same vein as Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants/Super Diaper Baby/Dogman. Wedgies and poop jokes galore. It has the same dumb humor as many of Pilkey's series. Take the villain, whose name is Bad Dude. You know it's dumb, but it is still satisfyingly funny.
This is the first Wedgieman book I have read so I didn't really get the transition from Veggieman to Wedgieman or why he gives himself a wedgie at the end, but I did enjoy the book (and plan on reading the previous books as well).
So excited to log on and write a review about the hysterical Wedgieman and find that there are additional books! My daughter and I cracked up reading about this stupid yet lovable super hero. And what young reader won’t giggle over the dreaded “bad dude” who was bested by a large pink bunny rabbit?
When authors make reading fun I am always so impressed, especially when they skirt the border of stupid town without crossing over, as Charise Mericle Harper managed in Wedgieman and the Big Bunny Trouble.
I have a bit of an author-crush on Charise Mericle Harper. This early reader has just the right off-the-wall sense of humor without going too far into the gross zone. In this Wedgieman episode, Bad Dude has a new invention "the Powerful Ordinary-Object Phaser" or "P.O.O.P.' for short. This name means kids get to read sentences like "He smiled and patted the P.O.O.P." and you don't have to have a discussion on not really touching poo. Good, silly fun.
