My fellow stick-in-the-muds and fuddy-duddies, avert your eyes.
There is something funny about Wilbur, the Naked Mole Rat, something very funny indeed. In fact, he is an embarrassment to all things Naked Mole Rats should hold holy. As you can very plainly see from the pages of this book, he is NOT NAKED. Even worse, he is not-naked IN PUBLIC. Egads.
I can hardly bring myself to write about such a delicate and distasteful issue, but someone must say something. Word must get out. SOMETHING must be done to stop such flagrant disregard for tradition!!!
Luckily, we have the opportunity to take our complaints, in person, to Wilbur’s more famous partner-in-crime, Mo Willems. He will be here on Saturday, January 24th at 6PM to CELEBRATE (if you can believe it) the horrors Wilbur the Overdressed Mole Rat has perpetrated on our venerable community. But I say: Let us not take this affront lying down. Let us turn the tables and show him the absurdity of this situation by wearing the MOST RIDICULOUS clothes we can come by.
I am sure that, after a few years of therapy, Mr. Willems will ultimately thank us for this valuable lesson in propriety.
