Oh, hilarious, beautiful Guinea hen adventures! Great rhymes, great images, glorious book! ( )

Delightful! Rhyming text tells of a guinea fowl's mission to acquire some spots like his fellows. He writes a note ("please send spots") and receives spots in return, but they're mostly all wrong until the final page, on which the dots are the same size as the other birds', but colorful and a little bit glittery and textured. It's good to be a little bit different. Great for storytime!

This fun book is about a guinea fowl who doesn't have any spots. When he orders them in the mail, they arrive as something quite unexpected. As he explores the unexpected assortment of spots, he comes to realize that not all spots are created equal just like no two individuals are exactly alike. What he discovers is that it is more important to be happy being yourself when making friends than to be someone you're not.
