Vanchung's Stuff

This book has many characters. This book has a different variety of babies such as a brave Baby, Twin babies, and a scared baby. Tommy (the leader) is brave, strong, and bald. Chucky, who is a scared baby and is best buddies with Tommy. Phil and Lil are twins, Phil is a boy and Lil is a girl. They sometimes don't get along well, but they still live with each other. Kimi, who is Chucky's new little sister, has so much imaginative ideas that the babies have something fun to do Everyday. The problem in this story is that Stu's new invention (the flying Dactar) broke and sent the babies traveling back in time to Italy. The solution was that they have to fix Dactar and Go back home. My reactions to the book were that I was shocked to read about the babies traveling back in time. My feelings were that those babies are crazy; when I was a baby I would never have been that brave.I would highly recommend this book to 7 years olds. The reason being that they are still developing an imaginative mind. I would not recommend this book to adults because it will make their learning skills go down. For the reason being this book would not entertain them. By,Vanchung Por

An adorable and funny book for Rugrats fans.

Tommy's daddy is working on his latest invention, the Flying Dactar. But of course, like his other inventions, it doesn't work very well. He leaves it, and the babies crawl in. Before they know it, the Dactar transports them back to Florence, Italy, in the sixteenth century.... and then breaks down, stranding them in the past. While Angelica decides to find a palace, the others decide to search for the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci, hoping he can fix their broken machine. Along the way, they see the sights of the historic city and eventually meet Michaelangelo and da Vinci, and thanks to Angelica, fall under suspicion of being spies. I reccomend this very funny and very cute book to all fans of Rugrats, whatever their ages.
