Review # 1 was written on 2011-02-16 00:00:00 Lindsey Davidson This may end up being my favorite Lester book. Funny all throughout. Fabulous illustrations to go with the story. A fun twist near the end. And a happy ending (with even a moral, if you choose to see it!). Great potential for a storytime read-aloud, probably for school-age. A fun lap-read, too. And the more I think on it, the more I think preschool might get it, too. 2/1/12 I had decided the day before storytime that this book might just be too long for my preschool groups. I left it on the table as a just-in-case. Well, my 1st group was full or newbies and no regulars, so they didn't get as involved in the books I read. So I actually managed 4 books & 5 songs and still had 10 minutes! Thus, I thought I'd give it a go. And it worked well. Though new, the kids who were the right age for the group sat well and enjoyed the book. Of course, you had to really look to see that they enjoyed it since they were playing the "I'm more mature than these little kids" because of all the toddlers in the room. But I saw them trying not to smile. And by the time they met the rhino, they were loosening up a bit. If I'd known that, perhaps I would have read the book earlier on. Oh well. I'm glad it turned out well. 9/25/13 I was doing a "Name" theme and this book asked to be done again. I think I had one girl who was there the last time, but she didn't seem bored--she was actually in to it. Adults and kids all loved it--story and pictures. Yay! 3/18/15 Used in Opposites theme. They enjoyed the story and they got the humor. 10/19/16 Used in Big Animals theme. They enjoyed. 6/13/18 I meant to have this out on Display for R, but I forgot to get Sheep Blast Off for Lit Moment. So I used this. Kids picked out something in the pictures, and then told me beginning letter of the word. Only a few volunteers, then we enjoyed the rest of the book.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-24 00:00:00 Murphy Murphy We thought this book was hilarious! We laughed all the way through. Fluffy the Porcupine hates his name because he realized his name does not suit him. He tries everything to make himself fluffy he can think of, but nothing works. Then he meets a Rhino named Hippo, and they become best friends. His unsuitability of his name no longer matters because now he is not alone.
