Personal reaction to the book:
I liked this book, and the lesson behind it. It is important to be who you are not change because of what others may think. The illustrations are bright and interesting also. Overall a good book.
Extensions:
1. I would use this book to teach children about being yourself and not changing because of what other think.
2. I would use this book to show my students how words and being mean can hurt someone's feelings. So I would encourage them to treat others how they want to be treated.

I ound myself learning about guinea pigs throughout this story. It was very good. Having been in classes growing up that had guinea pigs this was easily relatable for me. I liked the guinea pig facts included at the end.
