The Last Basselope: One Ferocious Story

A very nicely-done children's story by the creator of "Bloom County" and "Outland", featuring Opus and Ronald-Ann and Bill the Cat and Rosebud, the last basselope, very nicely telling the thought that sometimes mythical, wondrous and fabled lost beasts are sometimes lost for very good reasons. A little slighter story than the writer's other children's books, but still a very nice diversion.

This was a great narrative. The only parallel from Breathed's catalog that I recall is A Wish for Wings that Work. This is one of the stories that will pull on the heartstrings so long as a reader has heartstrings upon which to pull. I wish that there was another story in which Rosebud the Basselope could make his return to the forest where Opus and his friends played.

This was an amazingly illustrated story. It addressed exploring with friends and how you never know what you might find if you explore. Could be an introductory for a science lesson. Very cute!

This is a good transition book that can be read when you need to kill time or are waiting to go somewhere.

I would use this book to teach vocabulary awareness. I thnk students would enjoy this book because it has alot of suspense,

This is the first book I read of Berkeley Breathed and I love it!
