Here are my thoughts…….


Youngsters, like adults, can sometimes be afraid to try new experiences and by not doing so miss out on a lot of fun activities.

The father-daughter writing team of McBoop tackles this issue with humor and gentleness in their release, WHINY WHINY RHINO.

The story follows a young rhino who is reluctant to try new activities no matter how much his older brothers taunt him. The rhino realizes one day he is missing out on a lot of fun, but is still apprehensive.

When he finally attempts something new, the little rhino discovers the joy and excitement of playing with his friends.

WHINY WHINY RHINO is a delightful book that will encourage youngsters to try that new game with their friends and shows them that courage can be as simple as taking that first step. 

The beautiful, vivid drawings throughout the book will hold youngsters attention as they follow the tiny rhino on his journey. This charming book will quickly become a favorite in any youngster’s library.

FTC Full Disclosure – A copy of this book was sent to me by the publisher in hopes I would review it. However, receiving the complimentary copy did not influence my review. The thoughts are completely my own and given honestly and freely.

  1. Like you I don't have children or grandchildren. I still love children's books and read them (and buy them) often. And there are some in my stash that I reread every year.
