Description
 
 
This book by author D. Pinkwater is for ages 9-12 and takes everyday life and changes it so that it is just odd enough to make it implausible. Highlights include the Fish who Thought it was Drowning, the Mix, Mush, and Microwave vending machine, and the submarine whose name was 'The Flying Piggie'. No morals in these stories! They are pure silliness. This volume contains four books: Borgle, Yobgorgle, The Worms of Kukulima, The Snarkout Boys and the Baconburg Horror.

I agree, you can't get any funnier than Daniel Pinkwater (Well, maybe Calvin and Hobbes!) !! He is so funny, I can't read because I'm laughing too much! There isn't anything inappropriate in "Borgle", ( a story about Uncle Borgle, a Time Tourist, who drives his car in outer space!) which is my favorite so far!

I absolutely love this book! I have read it about five times. While none of the stories could actually happen in real life, the characters are believable and easy to relate to. My favorite book in this book (remember, there are four different books in this book) is probably "The Snarkout Boys and the Baconburg Horror." I like this one because it is the most realistic of the four. At first glance, it may seem as if this is a very unrealistic story. However, when you take a closer look, you'll realize that, while the events in the story could never really happen, the actions of the characters are very believable, more so than the other three. Out of five stars, I'd give "Four Fantastic Novels" a ten. :-)
