Product Description
Edward is bored with life in the little town of Pigbone.Then Moongobble the Magician and his faithful toad, Urk, move into the cottage on the hill. Soon Edward has a job helping Moongobble. And Moongobble needs a lot of help, because it turns out he is not a very good magician. (His spells keep turning things into cheese!) Edward has never been so busy -- or so happy. But then someone threatens to stop Moongobble from ever casting another spell. Edward can't let that happen. He'll do anything to save his friend's magic -- even face the deadly, dreaded Dragon of Doom!

Great Read Aloud For 4 and 5 year olds May 22, 2008
There are not all that many good books that you can read aloud to 4 and 5 year olds. Moongobble (a series, currently there are 4 books) is a good example of a book that young people will enjoy listening to, and the adult won't be bored out of his mind.
This is the first book in the Moongobble and Me series. Edward, a young boy apprentices to a neophyte wizard, Moongobble. Moongobble has a habit of messing up his spells and turning things to cheese. The Moongobble series has all the elements of fantasy: knights, dragons, witches,... but none of the violence usually present: the dragon of doom turns out to be roughly a foot long. The writing is witty, but simple enough for a four year old to understand.
great read for clever 1st graders August 10, 2007
My son loved this book. He just turned 7 and is only just beginning to read more fluently to himself. This book is great to read himself (large print) and fun to read to him as well.
P.S. It was on the school recommended reading list for my 9 year old!
Delightful! May 12, 2007
A splendid trilogy of sweet but not syrupy fantasy books for young children (I'd say around 3-7). With a bit of dragons, a bit of magic, a bit of questing, and a bit of coming of age tale to them, I found these to be must read books for my kids.

Moongobble and Me
by Bruce Coville
Do you want a jolly good book to read about a wizard who makes stuff into cheese? How about reading about a wizard and his helper who go on a mission to get golden acorns away from a dragon? The wizard is Moongooble and Eddy is his helper. If you want to read about their adventures pick up this book.

Great fantasy for kids... June 19, 2006
This book is very fun. My husband and I read alot with our son. And we encourage our son to read. We read a mixture of history, science and then fun stuff, like this book. This a great light story for children and it would be one to get the really young kids into reading. This book is about when Edward, a boy growing up in "Pigbone" meets his new neighbor Moongobble the wizard. This book is definitely written from a kid's point of view...my son was giggling the whole time. If you are looking for a fun read for your small child, this is the one!
