How did that wacky Mo Willems come up with a naked mole rat as a story character? Was it because they're so cuddly and adorable? He and Trixie probably had a good belly laugh ooh and awe at these fascinating creatures.
Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed is classic Mo Willems. It's a beautifully executed book with a wry sense of humor and a lesson coddled in there. "(Naked mole rats can be very sarcastic...)"
Wilber likes to wear clothes, and despite teasing from the rest of the naked mole rats he opens a clothing shop. What will the "oldest, greatest, most naked naked mole rat" Grand-pah do about it? Well, he'll make a Proclamation! Wilber must go to hear the proclamation but he doesn't know what to wear. We see him try out different outfits- very funny Mo. Then he decides to attend naked like all the other naked mole rats. BUT he forgets to take off his socks! What does Gran-pah proclaim? In this epic tale, Mo tells us we really need only remember three things: "1. Some of the mole rats were naked. 2. Some of the mole rats were clothed. 3. All of the mole rats had a great time."
As with all of Mo Willems stories. Here is another you will read together over and over and smile every time.
