Don't Call Me Fuzzybutt! by Robin Newman
funny
slow-paced
3.5
This is a story of a bear and a woodpecker. Bear needs to sleep and accidentally destroyed the woodpeckers’ home. The woodpecker needs to build. Between the two of them, the bear is not getting to sleep. This results in name-calling. While the bear starts it out, the woodpecker completes it. And fuzzybutt is born. However, the woodpecker apologizes and the two find a happy balance. As someone with a woodpecker in their yard, I fully understand the pecking and how grading it can be sometimes. I like that these two became friends and that the book has the lesson of a don’t call people names. The illustrations are lovely, and I do enjoy them. I do wish this story while Good had a shorter better flow, but it still works.
