Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed

Why read this book?  Well, in the words of one wise little mole rat, "WHY NOT?"

This is the funnest, cutest book ever!  I've always like Mo Willems books but I have to say that I think this may be one of my favorites.  I'm a fan of the cartoon Kim Possible which has a naked mole rat in it.  I've always wondered if there really is such a thing as a naked mole rat.  I saw this book a few months ago and have recently gotten around to reading it.  I decided I needed to find out if naked mole rats really existed.  I did a search on the internet...(sorry I am fighting back a shudder of revulsion)...they do exist and let me give you some truley wonderful advice: NEVER TRY TO FIND THE REAL THING!

Mo Willems does such a great job of creating smart, cute, loveable mole rats that you would be doing yourself a great disservice to try to find the real thing.  His mole rats have a huge dilemna on their hands.  One of their own decides to start wearing clothes.  When they tell him that NAKED mole rats don't wear clothes he asks, "Why not?".  This is a quick and enjoyable bedtime story that your kids are bound to ask for over and over and you will most likely be more than happy to comply!

DISCLAIMER:I know that after all of the mention of how repulsive naked mole rats are in real life you are bound to want to see for yourself.  In any case Mattie Wadsworth and Madness by Mattie are in no way responsible for any permanent damage that viewing a real nake mole rat causes to you.
