Summary: Hilarious
Review: This book is hilarious. A friend bought it for my 4 year old and it's become our favorite book to read (she now reads it to me from memory). I bought it for my nephews birthday and now I want to buy it for all the kids in my life. I like the fact that in the end the little, shy guy who everybody teased and made fun of becomes the hero. It cracks me up everytime we read it, plus it has a moral. Some kid books are so boring for the parent to read, but this one is really fun (especially if you do voices with the characters).

Summary: I disagree with the ratings posted
Review: This book was recommended to me, as my six year old replaces his 'R' sounds with the 'W' sound. I read it myself before giving it to him, and then decided to not let him read it. I did this because, even with his struggles with speech, my son does not feel badly about his difficulties and his classmates and friends do not tease him. I was afraid he would put himself too much in Rodney's place and feel ashamed and embarassed.Although the bully was a force to be dealt with, the idea that, simply through the process of the game, she was allowed to wander away from the school and was never seen again, seemed a bit frightening to me. Where were the adults who should have helped her manage her inappropriate actions? Where did she go? Do kids have that much magical power to make a problem 'disappear' rather than resolving it?

Summary: Tears of Joy
Review: This is an outstanding book for children and adults alike. I think I enjoyed it more as my daughter has a speech problem. The first time I read it to my children I was laughing so hard I was crying and could hardly read. Ms. Lester teaches a lesson about teasing and those thinking too much of themselves in a humorous fashion.

Summary: charming story
Review: This is just really sweet and funny. Sure, it teaches a lesson, but it's never heavyhanded or moralistic about it. The story and the engaging characters are what stand out, and the main character's speech impediment makes it fun to read out loud to a child.

Summary: Great read aloud
Review: This is one of my favorite read alouds in my classroom. There is a great lesson in the story as Rodney triumphs over adversity. Children love the humor and word play. The book is well illustrated.

Summary: What a Hewoah!
Review: This is one of the most charming books I have read in years. Wodney provides children with a hero (or, as Wodney would say, "hewoah") who overcomes so much just by being himself. It's a great lesson for both children who identify with Wodney or who are more like the other wodents in the book. I intend to share this book with adults and children alike.

Summary: Hooway For This Book!
Review: This story is about a rat named Rodney who couldn't pronounce r's. Instead, he pronounced his r's as w's. The other kids made fun of him at school until he chases a bully away and becomes the class hero. We liked this story because Rodney was very shy and nervous and at the end of this story he is proud of himself. You should read this story because it teaches you about tolerance and spirit.

Summary: Hooway for Wodney Wat
Review: Voted best picture book in my first grade class for the 1999-2000 school year. Everyone can relate to Wodney in some way. The fact that Wodney becomes a hero in the end, gives each one of us a hope of coping with our differences. We loved all of Helen Lester's books!
