Gobo and the Prize from Outer Space
Aruging over who gets to use the bicycle they hope to win in a contest, five friends in Fraggle Rock have a terrible fight and stop speaking to each other.
Fraggle Countdown
Fifteen Fraggles set off on a day of adventures at the end of which Wembley finds he has been left all alone.
These books are actually my sister's, she was a huge Fraggle fan. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Fraggles too, but I was 5 years older and these books are for younger children. So while I probably read some of them before, I had to re-read them again to write this review.
Ah, I miss that 80's show, it was fun to watch those Fraggles. Reading the books brought back bits and pieces of the show, like Gorgs, or the dog Sprocket. Or those poor Doozers that work so hard to build their engineering masterpieces only to have the Fraggles eat their creations.
The series was contributed to several authors and several artists. So there was a lot of variety. Some books were educational (Fraggle Countdown) or were written in rhyme (What's a Fraggle?) and others are stories. All the art was nice, though some were more to my tastes than others.
Now I'm a little old for pictures books (or maybe one is never too old for such things?), and while I found the rhyming ones a little silly, the story ones were actually pretty fun to read again. If you were a child of the 80's and now have children of your own, I think it is a good time to introduce your kids to the fun that was Fraggle Rock! I'm sure the TV show can be found on YouTube, and used bookstores are a good place to look for this series, along with the comic books and other related literature.
