Billy Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem by Mac Barnett

-->
Barnett, Mac, Billy Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem. Hyperion Books for Children, 2009. PICTURE BOOK.
Billy Twitters is very messy, doesn’t like eating his peas, and doesn’t like to brush his teeth. His parents buy him a blue whale to try and straighten him out.  At first, Billy hates having to lug around the whale, but he soon realizes having a whale can be fun as well.
The book is funny and the illustrations are entertaining. The illustrations also complement well the text and bring to life a whale of a story. Children who like whales and humorous stories will enjoy reading this story or having it read aloud to them.  PreK/EL (K-3). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira Moody, Youth Services Librarian, HUN Public Library.
