5.0 out of 5 stars Full of fiendishly good fun!, July 17, 2000

This review is from: Fungus the Bogeyman (Picture Puffins) (Mass Market Paperback)

I was given my original copy of this book when I was about 11, by an uncle with a "unusual" sense of humor. I loved it! Lots of illustrations and text jammed in an unusual comic book style layout made this quite the fun book for me to read.

You get to follow Fungus, a bogeyman, on his daily duties as a Bogeyman and experience the complex Bogeyman world. Peek into his bathroom and see hygiene products like "pepsomuck" and "eau de colon". Some of his daily duties include waking sleeping babies, making things go bump in the night, and scaring vicars in cemeteries. You also get to learn Bogey history, anatomy, and more. It's quite complex and fun and provided me with hours of entertainment as a child.

I recently got hit by a wave of nostalgia, and purchased it here at Amazon as I couldn't find my old copy. My 13 year old daughter who is a Harry Potter fan (which also has complex characters) has promptly taken posession of this new copy and has trotted off with it.

I fear I wont get it back.

Fellow Fungus fiends will also want to check out "Father Christmas" by Raymond Briggs, available here on Amazon, which chronicles Santa's day to day life in a most hilarious way!

5.0 out of 5 stars From a cat named Fungus, June 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fungus the Bogeyman (Picture Puffins) (Mass Market Paperback)

I named my cat (who's now 12) after reading this excellent book many years ago. I gave the book to a friend and am now frantically searching for a copy (yes it's that good/funny)

I had quite a crush on Fungus and always hoped I'd marry a man like him-I did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fungus is funny!, November 5, 1999

By 

Keith Grosvenor (Melbourne Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fungus the Bogeyman (Picture Puffins) (Mass Market Paperback)

I was introduced to Fungus by a work associate and was instantly hooked. Humour that makes kids laugh or gasp, and adults either laugh or gag!

A pop-up book was also released which shows great detail on toilets, underwear and the other key things in the bogey household.

This book is recommended for those who like their humour slightly off centre.

Also recommended is 'Unlucky Wally', which is directed to an older audience. Adults will certainly find similarities with real people they know.
