Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed 鼹鼠穿衣服 ISBN9781423114376

　　Wilbur is different from the other Naked Mole Rats in hisColony, because he wearsclothes (and he likes it!).　 But what will happen when Grandpah,the oldest, wisest, and most naked Naked Mole Rat ever discoversWilbur’s secret?
　　Funnyman and three-time Caldecott Honoree Mo Willems exposes thenaked truth about being yourself and wearing it well.

　　"Willems begins by giving us all the background we need aboutnaked mole rats: “1. They are a little bit rat. 2. They are alittle bit mole. 3. They are all naked.” All except Wilbur, anearnest dandy who can’t resist donning ties, jackets, pants, hats,or even entire superhero or astronaut getups. After all, the moreoutfits he has, the more he can pretend to be all sorts ofdifferent characters. Wilbur’s nude friends are appalled andcomplain to the colony ruler, who unexpectedly decrees that, fromhere on, their colony will be clothing-optional. Soon everyone iscrazily clad and snapping up duds from Wilbur’s new clothing store.Willems’ art follows the simple style of his Elephant and Piggiebooks, and is dominated in color by (no surprise) naked-mole-ratpink. An ongoing horizontal line lends continuity to most of thepages, occasionally curving to add simple architecture to thescenes. But mostly it is Wilbur’s guileless observations that willhave young readers feeling good about individual expression.Preschool-Grade 2."
