What child wouldn’t find the title entertaining? You just have to love the words “googley woogley,” don’t you?
THE HEROES OF GOOGLEY WOOGLEY flows nicely from Dalton’s previous book, THE SNEAKIEST PIRATES. The end of the pirate story has Pete and his father James going off to become rock stars. THE HEROES OF GOOGLEY WOOGLEY begins with the reader meeting Rock Star Pete and Rock Star James.
The two have gathered a lot of money as rock stars and have decided they want to now become astronauts. So now they have become Spaceboy Pete and Spaceman James. The two have intercepted a message and are off to help the people of Googley Woogley. The planet of Googley Woogley contains the Soodos and the SooDonts.
Using imaginative drawings, Dalton tells a simple story of good and bad. The SooDonts have stolen from the Soodos. Spaceboy Pete and Spaceman James decide to help the Soodos get everything back. Using creative thinking, the two astronauts come up with a plan of attack.
For his young age, Dalton James has managed to accomplish what older authors have only dreamed about…publishing a book. And this is his second one so far! The story of space and aliens will definitely appeal to all the young boys out there that dream of space!
