[Anne · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book would be GREAT if not for the illustrations. They are quite hideous and I don't like the text going sideways. It rhymes, which is cute, and the moral is don't steal, lie and cheat. Recommend for ages 5 to 8.

Very fun and funny rhyming read-aloud. Rhino wreaks havoc after escaping from the zoo.

[Kam Yung Soh · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun book in verse about a rhino who runs away from the Zoo and then helps himself to food and clothing. This causes the people to accuse the surrounding farm animals of the theft. What are they to do?

Filled with fun illustrations, the book teaches the lesson that theft is not a good thing and in the end, the rhino makes amends and all is well.

Rhino creates chaos and makes life difficult for some farm animals when the humans blame them for his antics. The story is funny and the rhyme is perfect. The illustrations are too busy for my tastes.

Fun rhyming book about a rhino that escapes from the zoo and "borrows" from people.

[Brindi Michele · Rating 4 out of 5]

this is a cute book and would work perfect for animal/zoo/farm/silly PSST themes. The rhyming allows the story to flow quite nicely and I'm sure the kids will interact!
