Summary: Wodney Wat Review
Review: This is one of my favorite children's books. It is interesting because Helen Lester uses a fictional story to describe bullies. Wodney uses his speaking disability to make Camilla seem like she has lost her mind. Wodney ends up saving everyone from Camilla when he tells them to take a rest. Since Camilla doesn't know Wodney is not able to say his r's she begins to walk west. The illustrations in the book are well drawn and show movement in them.

Summary: Poor Picked Upon Wodney Becomes the Class Hero!
Review: As an elementary school librarian, I like promoting books in which a child's disability actually turns into a gift. Here poor picked-upon Wodney, who hides his head inside his jacket at recess, becomes the hero of his class by inadvertently driving the new bully away.This story reminds me of "Gerald McBoing Boing," by Dr. Seuss, which is about a boy who can't talk, but only makes sounds. Wodney Wat is sure to encourge many kids, with or without disabilities, for many years to come!

Summary: It covers a variety of content areas!
Review: At first glance, one might think that this is a book solely meant for entertainment. However, after the initial reading, one discovers that the text can provide the primary/elementary child with instruction in a variety of skills: animal identification, phonemic awareness, rhyme, as well as social skills like acceptance, tolerance, cooperation, and handling bullies, all character development skills so necessary in today's world. And, besides that, it's a fun read!

Summary: A weally gweat wead!
Review: Hooway for Wodney Wat will have you, and your kids, laughing out loud. Poor Wodney the Wat can't say his R's, and due to the teasing of other "wodents" in his class, spends most of his time hiding in his jacket. Enter Camilla Capybara, the newest, biggest, smartest and definitely meanest rodent at PS 142 Elementary School for Rodents. Rodney becomes a hero when his speech impediment ends up helping him rid himself and his classmates of Camilla's bullying - in a very humorous way. Text and pictures combine for a book your kids will ask for again and again -- and you actually won't mind.

Summary: A must have for SLPs
Review: I am a school based speech-language pathologist. I have numerous children on my caseload who are working on producing their "r" sound. I have read this book to many of these children and they love it! Aside from my occupational affiliation to this story--it is just an all around cute, funny book.

Summary: Wodney's the gweatest!
Review: I bought this book for my nephew but now I'm not willing to give it away. The drawings are darling, and Wodney seems to know exactly what he's doing at the end of the book when he uses his speech impediment to trick mean old Camilla Capybarra. My 9-year old niece loves this book, too.

Summary: wonderful message
Review: I disagree about this book having a negative message for children with a speech disability. On the contrary, Wodney, with his speech impediment is the hero and is able to triumph. This is a great book and the message is triumph over bully behavior. Definitely one of my favorites and I highly recommend it.

Review: I have recommended this books to adults who are feeling depressed and overwhelmed. It always brings a smile to their face. I haven't met anyone who can read it without laughing. Both the story and the illustrations are delightful.
