Customer Reviews

Utterly bizarre! Utterly hysterical!

I found this book in a clearance bin for a buck. I bought it as a joke gift for my 15-year-old son's Christmas stocking. I figured either he would think it was stupid or he would really like it. He loved how funny it is. Poor little Bat - everybody, even his friends, laugh at his clothing. But somehow anything he wears becomes the next big fashion trend - baggy pants, spiked hair, cycling shorts, grunge. He finally gets tired of everyone copying him and tries to get away. But even in Mississippi, people find him and imitate him. (The end. No moral, no platitudes. Just silly fun.) Although it is written in a style appropriate for 4-6 year olds, there are jokes that you have to be older to appreciate, such as Bat's friend reading a magazine called "Very Trendy Fashion Mag." I am eager to find other books in this series.

So cute

This book is adorable in its simple illustrations and bright colors. It can teach kids the value of just being yourself and having your own style, even if people laugh at you sometimes.
