Readers who will like this book: Visual readers and animal lovers.
Personal response and rating: This is a heartwarming book that sends an extremely important message about understanding those that may be "different" from you. I would certainly rate this book highly and use it in a classroom setting to explain differences/likeness among all cultures.
A question you would ask before reading aloud: Have you ever been scared to talk to someone because they are different than you? Why?
