review 1: New York Times Bestseller, Oliver Jeffers is back with this delightful read about being different. Here he introduces the Hueys. They are simple oval beings that are all the same. They do the same things and wear the same stuff. Then one day, Rupert knits himself a sweater. To be fair, this is not just any sweater - it is a bright orange sweater set in a predominantly gray world. Regardless, the Hueys are taken aback. Rupert and his sweater garner quite the attention. Suddenly not everything is the same. Brilliantly simple look at being different and message to all its readers that sometimes it is okay to be an original.
review 2: The Hueys are adorable egg shaped beings with Jeffers’ standard stick legs, beady eyes, and scribbly hands. They are all the same-... more black and white pencil sketch drawings, until Rupert adds a splash of color to the story. He decides to sport a bright orange sweater. Of course the other Hueys, who are all the same, are appalled at Rupert’s flamboyant fashion sense… all except Gillespie. This simple little book brings the big ideas of individuality and trends to the table, and sends the message that it is ok to be different, and hey, it may even catch on! Jeffers’ Hueys series is the simplest of his book designs yet, but it still matches his others in quality. The backgrounds are usually white, but some are appropriately pastel colored to the feel of the action on the page. Every bit of the Hueys’ simple bodies and faces and limbs are hilariously expressive as they strike their little poses. The text large and easy to read and the subject matter makes this book great for using in a classroom. less
