He goes through a series of different forms trying to find someone new to be. He changes into an elephant, a giraffe and a mouse before finally figuring out that it is best to just be who he is. Each form did not quite fit in one way or another. The illustrations are bright, simple and consistent with the words on the page. I love Put Me In The Zoo, so I picked this up used without really reading it through. Well, it's a dollar I'm never getting back...! Spot, who is better off in the circus than the zoo (seriously, read the original, because it rocks) is bored with being himself, so he decides to play around and change shapes. Will he be an elephant? A giraffe? A mouse? We already know the ending - he's going to find out that his own shape is best. The only thing now is to find out WHY his own shape is best. Well, it's not best because he can do things in that shape, or because other people are familiar with it, or because it's just a nice shape to be in, or even because he has opposable thumbs. It's best because elephants are too fat to go on see-saws, because birds nest in giraffe's ears (???) and because people put out traps to catch mice. Oh, and because his juvenile friends are judgmental brats who don't love their friend for who he is and support him in this crisis but tell him "We don't like you like that" every time. Sheesh. I'm not sure if I even want to give this one away, but I guess it'll be less of a pain in a full classroom of books where each kid reads it about once or twice instead of over and over again. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
