In Billy Bob the dog and Torkelson Turtle "Good Food Gone Bad" writer Kyle Fuhrer shares with us a wonderful world called Fiddlers Green. As cops both Billy Bob and Torkelson Turtle are charged with protecting this magical land. Just as every town would expect, there are many `mischievous' villains so both cops stay busy! However, the most mischievous villain is known as Hypnotherapy. He uses his powers to force the citizens of Fiddlers Green into overeating - he accomplishes this by locking up all the healthy food. Most of the citizens are pleased at first, eating junk food all day is great! However over time they become sluggish, gain a lot of weight and become sick. This is when Hypnotherapy devises his evil scheme of playing tricks on everyone in Fiddlers Green. They were all so out of shape no one could stop him, or so he thought! You must read the book to find out if Hypnotherapy is caught!This is author Kyle Fuhrer's first piece of children's literature and I hope he continues to peruse this endeavor. I fell in love with the story. It has a very positive message, children should be aware of the foods they eat and how those foods affect them not only now but years down the road. The illustrations were quirky and kept the story lighthearted while being on cue.I recommend this book for children ages 2-5. They will enjoy the storyboard setting and gain a great lesson at the same time! I'm looking forward to more installments of Billy Bob the dog, Torkelson Turtle and the rest of the kooky citizens of Fiddlers Green.
