The book cover
Loogie the Booger Genie, A Very Nasty Cold
In 14 chapters in the book we travel on an adventure with Charlie who has a genie who’s bottle was stuck in his nose. Loofie was a prince who had been imprisoned as a genie in a bottle by a wizard. To be freed from this curse he has to do good deeds and accumulate sufficient good deeds to be released from the curse.
In this installment Charlie comes down with a cold and it affects Loogie as he comes down with a cold too. Being a genie he could not take cold medicine like Charlie did for his cold to get better. Charlie goes all out to try to make Loogie feel better. He even makes a wish for the wizard Hendrick , who put the prince under such a curse, to appear so that he could brew up a concoction to make Loogie feel better.
Unfortunately this leads to a series of misheard wishes on the part of Loogie resulting in many magical creatures being invited from the magical world over to their world creating a bit of chaos which Charlie struggled to fix.
My thoughts
My 9yr old and I read the book and both of us loved it. I found it very entertaining and I couldn’t put down the book till I finished reading the whole book. It is certainly a storybook which I would recommend for kids to read.

Sounds very entertaining. I think all children like books like this. My sons loved Michael Rosen books.

I’m not sure I would enjoy a book about boogers no matter how well it was written, but I’m glad you and the little one loved the book. 🙂

Kids love genie stories. I guess it’s because there’s the wishing and the wish-come-true part. 😀
