Last week saw the release of Mo Willems’s latest picture book, Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed. Wilbur isn’t like all the other naked mole rats. He loves clothes and outfits. He lives to get dressed; he thinks a lot about what kind of outfits to where. The other naked mole rats hate this. They’re naked and they love it! What Wilbur does is just plain weird. So Wilbur is teased and bullied until the other naked mole rats complain to the wisest of them all. This supreme naked mole rat decides that getting dressed is actually pretty swell, and he encourages all the naked mole rats to do their own thing.
