![]() ![]() Boys will like this retelling of a children's classic. Illustrations are done in mixed media, mostly in a collage style, and have a clunky, metallic look to them. The reunited family goes for drive at the end, but it's clear from the picture that not everyone is assembled as they were before. Dudley rebuilds his brothers from the parts and makes a car from Wolfgang's remains. After he sinks, his parts start floating to the top. Dudley invites him in, and Wolfgang becomes trapped. He uses Slick's vain streak to gain entrance to his castle and breaks him down for parts. Wolfgang tricks Rod into opening the door and dismantles him on the spot. Dudley orders 12 truckloads of mud and happily nestles down into the oozing pile. He wants their parts for enhancing himself. One day their mother sends them out into the world with enough resources to acquire their own factories, big and strong enough to keep Wolfgang the Recycler at a distance. Rod is big and yellow with a clock in his stomach. ![]()
