“NAKED MOLE RATS DON‘T WEAR CLOTHES!”

blurb
M.Marvins

This book would make an excellent lesson on being unique and embracing each other‘s differences. I think it‘d be very good to include some social devotional development with this.

1. Usually 3-4 times (workout clothes, daytime clothes, work clothes if I'm teaching or if I have a concert or meeting, PJs).

2. A favorite from my kids' little-kid days.

I love all Mo Willems books and this one is no exception. The story was very funny, cute, and the end was great. I also like this message and i think it is a very similar one to Mr. Tiger goes Wild.

Irony: A teacher in my school district wants to ban this book because, well, it's about a plot to kill a teacher! 😱 Has she read the book? No. 🙄

Another teacher reference: If you've never seen this 1988 McDonald's commercial, you should. Have kleenex nearby.

Suet624 Irony indeed. 4mo

Aimeesue I remember that book vividly! Didn‘t make me plot with my friends to kill a teacher though. 🙄 4mo

dabbe @Aimeesue You mean you had willpower? But we must protect the students from everything because we think they can't handle it! 😱 4mo
Aimeesue @dabbe I think it‘s more that they‘re afraid of giving kids IDEAS. Which is sad, especially for a teacher. That‘s your JOB! Egad. 4mo
dabbe @Aimeesue 🎯. 4mo
bthegood First, commercial is sweet! Second, this reminds me of movie “Teaching Mrs. Tingle“ which was originally “Killing Mrs Tingle“ but it was after Columbine so title and other parts reworked. The writer (Kevin Williamson) states it is not based on a book but the similarities make me wonder. 🙂 (edited) 4mo
Eggs First time seeing this commercial! 👏🏻👏🏻 4mo

Mehso-so

That's right kids, be comfortable with your personal preferences and don't let the world dictate what you should be, or else the (body) HORRORS will be visited upon thee! 🤦🏼‍♂️ Camilla's transformation was unsettling but entertaining, but the way this author/illustrator paints people in general does not work for me. Do not think I'll be investigating his other work.

Cuilin As a 25+ years preschool/K teacher, can‘t say I like his books either. 4mo
Robotswithpersonality @Cuilin Vindication! 😃 Hey, who knows, maybe there's one little kid who became a successful horror writer after being spookily inspired so early. 😅 4mo
Cuilin @Robotswithpersonality you always hope that the right book finds its way to the right person. He was just not for me or my classroom. 🫶 4mo
Robotswithpersonality @Cuilin Agreed! Valid. 4mo

Yes, I do believe I would scream too.
Has David Shannon considered writing horror? 🫣

I appreciate the levels of creativity evident in such a surreal concoction, but was no one afraid they might traumatize the demographic that typically reads picture books?! 😬

Other than Nancy Drew, I haven‘t really read any middle grade since I was middle grade myself. However, this one came to mind. It‘s a brutal story about boys and violence. Some adults have a problem with it but kids don‘t, in my experience. They get it.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs
