Absolutely gorgeous. I laughed and I cried. The entire range of human emotion is encapsulated in my experience reading this book.

Little Red Rhupert is an imaginative and fun children's story about diversity, seen through the eyes of an ostrich in a rhyme scheme vaguely similar to that of Dr. Seuss. The book was written and illustrated by famous and incredibly talented Key West artist D. Arthur Wilson. I had the pleasure of getting my book personally signed from the artist when I visited the Keys. :D

I found the rhythm of the story and the colorful artwork quite pleasing. My 6 year old daughter simply adores this book, and even keeps it in a different spot than her other books (for better display?).

My granddaughter LOVES this story, she loves all the colours of the Rhuperts and I have to read it to her every time she comes over. There was talk of a Rhupert cartoon/movie but I guess it hasn't happened. I got the signed book when I bought one of D. Wilson's paintings of Rhupert that both my husband and I had to have. Just looking at it makes me smile.

I only read this because my mom bought it because she went to high school with the author. The illustrations were kinda creepy, to be honest, and it was much too Seuss-like.
