Fizzopolis: The Trouble with Fuzzwonker Fizz by Patrick CarmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The world Patrick Carman created for this series is really cute. The illustrations help bring the story to life since Fizzies are not normal everyday creatures. The juxtaposition between good and bad candy companies is great, especially since Floyd seems to have difficulty figuring it out.
While I’m on the topic of Floyd, can I just say that he is adorable and I want him in my life? I also love the fact that Harold calls him his best good buddy. That’s a phrase that seems like it should not work, but in this book, I loved every time it came up. Maybe I just want Floyd to be my best good buddy, and that’s why it didn’t bug me.
As an adult, I do have some questions that I wouldn’t even care about as a kid. Is no one in the town even questioning the fact that Fuzzwonker Fizz seems to have no employees but the owner? It’s a really popular soda, but no one seems to actually work there. Maybe they don’t realize that it is made in their town, so they don’t question it? Also, how big is Fizzopolis? Is it affecting any of the town’s infrastructure?
Like I said, kids don’t care about the questions I have, and really, I love the book even with them. I’m glad this is a series, because I want to read more adventure of Harold and his best good buddy Floyd. Also, Floyd is a great name.
