Another Larryboy Adventure

This is another cute Larryboy book, the fourth in the series, and one of only two books that are based on Larryboy's movies. The message here is not to be greedy, which I found a very good lesson. You barely walk down the street today and you're bombarded with "you need this" and "you need that" and "you're not cool if you don't have this." Larryboy is, as usual, trying to save everyone, this time from a "yodelnapper." She has been kidnapping all the world's greatest yodelers, and forcing them to yodel for her by dumping smelt-flavored pudding (her family's recipe) on their heads. Larryboy is still cute and funny, and he learns a good lesson in an easy-to-understand way. I found it kind of annoying that they kept calling the yodelnapper "Greedy Greta." If you've watched the movie, you'll notice her name is Greta Von Gruesome. However, this is a minor flaw in an otherwise spectaular book.
