Boek voorgelezen aan onze kinderen. Boek kwam hoog op de lijstjes terecht, daarom voor dit boek gekozen. Schetenpoeder vonden de kids wel hilarisch klinken, dus die waren ook voor.

Het verhaal gaat over Lise en Bulle die in aanraking komen met de schetenpoeder van Dr Proktor. Wat zullen ze ermee doen? Het recept voor complete hilariteit!!!

Hoofd verhaallijn is wel leuk, en is ook makkelijk te volgen als je iedere avond maar een stukje voorleet.
Wel was het verhaal soms wat complex. en omdat het noors gerelateerd was (speelde af in Oslo en over Noorse feestdag) niet makkelijk plaatsbaar voor onze kids.
Desalnietemin hebben ze er wel van genoten.

Awful. I can only assume it's bad translation, but it's written like a third grader wrote it....and I don't mean the story line. The writing is painful to get through.

lasteraamatuid on nii üldises plaanis kaht sorti - neid, mis ka täiskasvanule midagi pakuvad, ja neid, mis on loetavad ainult sihtgrupile. kahtlustasin juba pealkirja põhjal, et dr. Proctorist rääkiv raamat on seda viimast sorti, ja nii ta läkski. hambad ristis kannatasin lõpuni ära, põhiliselt selleks, et tunda, et arvustamine ja hinde andmine on õigustatud (isegi halbade raamatute puhul tundub mulle ebaõiglane, kui hinnanguid jagavad need, kes pole raamatut ise lugenud).

tõesti ei mäleta, et isegi lapsena oleksin osanud peeruhuumorit kuidagi eriti hinnata, aga praegu oli see ikka eriliselt tüütu. ja kõik juhtumised ja tegelased ses loos olid sellised, et... ma ei oskagi seletada, miks Roald Dahl tohtis nii kirjutada ja see töötas ja oli ok, aga siin oli lihtsalt piinlik. kiusajad, kellel lastakse end kiusata, sest "nii lihtsalt käib". juhmid politseinikud, kes iga lapse iga sõna peale kellegi eluks ajaks vangi panevad. no ma saan aru, et see pidi kõik olema mingi absurdihuumor, aga üldse ei olnud naljakas ju.

õnneks on esimest sorti lasteraamatuid maailmas piisavalt, lähen nüüd tagasi nende juurde ja püüan puuksupulbriga seotud piinad unustada.

This is a hilariously silly, yet simple read about a subject (farts, of course) that is inherently funny, and is made even funnier by adding a plot that includes a crazy inventor, helpful kids, and even a dash of "bad guys." I would have liked the illustrations to be a bit more detailed instead of looking like a kid drew them, but I suppose the use of basic drawn lines adds to the overall quirkiness of the read.

I read this book (and the sequel) to my daughter when she was about 6 years old, and we had a lot of good laughs together. You shouldn't be discouraged by the title; the book isn't about "toilet humor", rather it is quite the children's action book. I can't speak for the english translation, but the Norwegian original is certainly a great children's book.

I just love the originality of the story and characters. You probably won't forget about this book and maybe re read it after many years again as me. 
It's very enjoyable and funny book.
