Rumple Buttercup: A Story of Bananas, Belonging, and Being Yourself

I purchased this for a second grade struggling readers program. They were all able to read it fairly easily and understood the message. The drawings are funny.

Such an important story about finding a community and learning that insecurities don’t define you. It’s also an easy and cute read for all. I know some teens that definitely should read this book (and even some adults)!

I've adored Matthew Grey Gubler since I first saw him playing Spencer in Criminal Minds. I watched reruns of the show over and over just to watch him act because he's that good. So when I learned he had written children's books, as an author myself, I had to check them out. My favorite book of all time was Frank Muir's What-a-Mess that I used to read to by boys at bedtime when they were little. They made me read it every night and sometimes twice. We determined we're all What-a-Mess and that's just okay. Matthew's books are every bit as endearing and may just be on my favorite shelf as What-a-Mess.I bought this book to give to my grands (8, 6, and 5) but couldn't part with it so I'll be buying another copy of Rumple Buttercup for each of them for Christmas this year. Hm, it just occurred to me, Matthew must like green a lot.This book has a joyful theme of acceptance - we're all different and weird in our own ways and doesn't that just make us all wonderful? He brings a message of hope to those who feel like outcasts.Anywho, I love the quirkiness of this book. It may just become your child's favorite! Yes, your kid could read it themselves, but bedtime stories are so much more fun if you read to your little ones. Great time for bonding and a lifetime of memories.

I've been a big fan of Matthew Grey for I don't know how long but now that he writes books. I had to purchase but the book itself is so uplifting and I think it can really teach young children about accepting who you are even if it's different from the norm. LOVEEEEE

Love this book

I bought this book for my girlfriend for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! 100% recommend!!!

Grandson read it twice in the first week.

A história é uma gracinha. Os desenhos também são muito fofos. Comprei para praticar inglês e para ler para minhas sobrinhas e me apaixonei pela história! Sempre me achei estranha, então me identifiquei com o Rumple!! HahahahahaUma das minhas sobrinhas, que é autista, também gostou da história!
