Whenever his mom remind him to do something, Dudo always answers promptly. But, only his mouth which responses very quickly, Dudo himself is reluctantly doing what his mom said. Until one day, his mouth suddenly starts to do all Dudo activities by itself. It's very quick and skillful, more than Dudo.

Shocked by the actions, Dudo tries to get his mouth back. He distresses without it. Every statement that he makes would first be done by his mouth. Looks like, it flies away in a lightning speed.

This story is very amusing. It's uncommon and imaginative with a familiar background story. Mom thinks even some grown-ups can relate to its background story as their childhood story, replied nicely to mothers but often delayed to do the things.

Mom was very happy to find this book and its sequel at the bookstore. Dudo's story was perfect for Sabio. He likes fable, soccer, chitchat, and boyish story. And, he still prefers a picture book than a chapter book. Unless, the chapter book has some illustrations in it.

Sabio read this book by himself at first. Sabio and Mom feel sorry for Dudo. Apart from that, Sabio and Mom can't help to laugh everytime we read the book. It's so hilarious.

Kapanpun ibunya mengingatkannya untuk melakukan sesuatu, Dudo selalu menjawab dengan sigap. Tapi, hanya mulutnya yang merespon sangat cepat, Dudo sendiri enggan melakukan apa yang dikatakan ibunya. Hingga suatu saat, mulutnya tiba-tiba mulai melakukan semua aktivitas Dudo dengan sendirinya. Dengan sangat cepat dan terampil, lebih dari Dudo.

Terkejut melihat semua itu, Dudo mencoba untuk mendapatkan kembali mulutnya. Dia merasa tertekan tanpanya. Setiap pernyataan yang dia buat pertama-tama akan dilakukan langsung oleh mulutnya. Sepertinya, ia terbang secepat kilat.

Cerita buku ini sangat lucu. Tidak biasa dan imajinatif dengan latar belakang yang familiar. Menurut Mama, bahkan beberapa orang dewasa dapat mengaitkan cerita latar belakangnya dengan kisah masa kecil mereka, menjawab dengan baik kepada ibu mereka tetapi sering menunda untuk melakukan sesuatu.

Mama sangat senang menemukan buku ini dan sekuelnya di toko buku. Kisah Dudo sangat cocok untuk Sabio. Dia suka dongeng, sepak bola, obrolan, dan cerita kekanak-kanakan. Dan, Sabio masih lebih memilih buku bergambar daripada chapter book. Kecuali, chapter book-nya memiliki beberapa ilustrasi di dalamnya.

Sabio membaca buku ini sendiri duluan. Sabio dan Mama merasa kasihan pada Dudo. Selain itu, Sabio dan Mama tidak bisa menahan tawa setiap membaca buku ini. Sangat lucu!
