Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? Or is it just annoying?
Norton just wants to be unique. The bear wants to be just like him. This is definitely going to be a problem.
This hilarious read-aloud explores every child's least favorite form of admiration: copying. It also helps readers deal with the sensitive topics of conformity, individuality, and belonging in an accessible, kid-friendly way. Ultimately, setting boundaries should be empowering for kids, just like it is for Norton.
"With a message sure to resonate with both trend setters and follower, this story will have wide appeal, especially for those with time to savor the artwork."
