The Hueys in the New Sweater by Oliver Jeffers
Philomel, Penguin, May 24th, 2012
I'm so glad the Hueys will
have their own series! The Hueys are simple creatures who all look alike
and who all like to do the same things (though they may do them
differently). But when Rupert knits himself a bright orange sweater, the
Hueys suddenly have to deal with something different. But when everyone
decides to be different, what does different even mean? Jeffers has
created a deceptively simple book that questions what it means to be
unique. For classrooms or storytimes, try pairing it with Mo Willems'
Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed.
