I've never read a Gross Gus book before. I'm a person who hates all things gross, so I normally would never give this book a second look, let alone read it to a child. But a friend recommended it and I'm so glad she did. I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It wasn't gross at all. In fact, not only were the illustrations delightfully charming, the rhymes were sublime and the story was great. It managed to talk about bullying, embracing differences and the power/beauty friendship without ever being negative or too scary for children. I give this book the highest rating possible.
