The Great Escape: Upchuck and the Rotten Willy

by Bill Wallace

Book Overview

Spring has sprung - and so have we... even cats and dogs get crazy in the spring. After all, what self-respecting cat (that's me, Chuck) stays somewhere he doesn't want to be? And what self-respecting dog (that's Rotten Willy, who calls me Upchuck) won't let his best friend (me) goad him into action on a fine spring day? Believe me, it's not easy getting a lumpy Rottweiler over - or under - a big wooden gate I figured it was about time I took Willy...

Customer Reviews

I enjoyed this book

I liked this book because it was, like most of Bill Wallace's books, about animals! I recommend it! There are 2 other Upchuck And The Rotten Willy books, (by Bill Wallace) which I also recommend.

Upchuck and Rotten Will, The Great Escape

The title of this book is called Upchuck and Rotten Willy, The Great Escape. It is all about a dog named Willy, or Rotten Willy, and a cat named Chuck or Upchuck. They are trying to get Willy out of his yard so he can explore with Chuck. There is one problem though, Willy can't climb.This book doesn't really have hard words. It would probably be for kids between the ages of 8 & 10. Older kids might like it but it would probably be a little easy.I particularly liked it because it was exciting and hilarious. Not only that, but it shows two creatures (a cat and a dog) working together to get what they want. Will they succeed? Or will their life be the same forever?

A Whole Lot of Fun!

Bill Wallace brings our friends Upchuck and Rotten Willy back again for another fast-paced adventure. This time Rotten Willy leaves the safety of his backyard and gets in trouble each step of the way. Upchuck can't figure out how his lovable friend can get in so much trouble! But, he's there to rescue his doggy pal from danger. Good read for 3rd-6th graders and excellent as a book to read to children. Only problem, you can't put it down!

This is an awesome book!

This is one of the best books I've ever read. A cat and a dog are best friends. The dog (Willy) always has to stay in his yard, but one day, they get borred. They decide to try and get out of Willy's yard. To find out what happens, read Upchuck and the Rotten Willy, The Great Escape!
