Another great Gross Gus storybook.  Telling a story like this without bashing everyone over the head with the moral is far more difficult than it might seem and Ms. Mayer excels at it. Not only does Gus learn tolerance and friendship for someone who is different, but his new friend saves him from the bullies. Your beginner reader will enjoy learning with Gus that different is sometimes good and bullies aren't as tough as they seem.
