I agree with the reader from Amherst that the rhymes in this book are VERY clunky. I bought it for the charming illustrations and for the theme (I'm currently working on a lesson plan about acceptance, diversity, etc.). However, I regret buying it, because it's extremely difficult to read out loud. The rhymes are awkward, and the inconsistent metre ruins any sense of flow.There are plenty of high quality children's books that deal with this theme. Take a pass on this one, and try Wolf! by Sara Fanelli, or Something Else by Kathryn Cave and Chris Riddell. Both of these books have talented illustrators AND writers.
