Mo Willems Week: Day 3


This is the story of Wilbur. As you may have deduced, he's a naked mole rat who likes to get dressed. As normal as clothes are to us, in Wilbur's realm his affinity for clothing makes him Mr. Social Outcast.
This is a great story about embracing individuality and self-expression. Plus how many stories do you get to see naked mole rats? Not many, I can assure you.

If you're looking for something to help you get through to the end of the week, I encourage you to check out Mo's website. You can find it at http://mowillems.com (easy enough). You can see a list of all his great books and buy merchandise (like a cute Wilbur plushie). Plus, if you click on "The Pigeon Presents" it will take you to a game website. You can help Wilbur get dressed, help the pigeon get lunch, and watch The Elephant & Piggie do fun dances. This last one is Emery's favorite. Go check it out!
