The Why-Why's Gone Bye-Bye is a great story for readers of all ages! As a grown adult, this book had me giggling out loud by the whimsically drawn characters and their funny antics. I would definitely recommended this story to my students!

This book is so funny (just like everything Stephan Pastis has written.) I just laughed all the way through it. The kids will love it, and it will be a good way to lure the non-readers over to the Timmy Failure books.

The Why-Why's Gone Bye-Bye welcomes you to the twisted world of Stephan Pastis. Aimed at levels from early readers to adults of all ages, Pastis’ humor is both obvious and subtle. Adults will love the 23 Squidoo news story about aliens used as an excuse for botched plans and the definition of the prologue. Children will enjoy reading about Milo, the last orphan left in the Trubble Orphanage for Troubled Tots and how he is forced to go to school. My favorites are the chapter titles “Won” and “1.5 Because Chapters Shouldn’t Have To Be Whole Numbers” all the way to “Chapter Last For Real in which We Are Not Kidding Around.” Pastis has been delighting readers since the first Pearls before Swine and I want more. 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Simon and Schuster Children's Publishing and Stephan Pastis for this ARC.
