Summary:
Following his debut in Wedgieman: A Hero Is Born, our superhero continues on his mission to get children to eat their vegetables. Until he meets Bad Dude and his secret inventions, that is.
Bad Dude has a plan; it’s a bad plan. He wants to use his Make-Things-Disappear Machine to zap the playground and make it dematerialize-and then force all the children to work in the Bad Dude Factory! But have no fear, Wedgieman comes to the rescue and saves the day-and develops a new wedgie in the process that’s called The Celery!
Beginning readers (and their caregivers) will howl with delight over the ka-pow! humor and blam! illustrations.
My Thoughts:
This is a great kids book, perfect for younger readers. The Hero Wedgieman (Veggieman) thwarts the evil Bad Dude’s plan to ruin the playground. Ends up giving the kids veggies and himself a Wedgie before putting Bad Dude in jail. The humor is spot on for the younger crowd and will encourage the young reader to keep on reading to see whats happening next.
