Have you ever wished you could be someone (or something) else so you could get out of doing things you don’t want to do? That’s exactly what the boy in this story does. He pretends to be a rhino, and he imagines all the things rhinos probably don’t like: baths, haircuts, school, etc. Acting like a rhino upsets those around him, including his parents and his teacher, and eventually, he realizes that the things he’s trying to avoid aren’t so bad after all—they may even be good for him. Every child will find it easy to relate to the boy and rhino in this story. Most kids know that even the things they don’t like are often worthwhile. Readers Favorite calls it “a great book to share with a child.”
