Quiet Wyatt Super Shy - Or Superhero?, written by Tammi Sauer, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: This is an excellent book about being different, being lonely and accepting others as friends. Wyatt is a quiet, lonely little boy who is fine with his way of life. This way of life works for him. He still participates in the school play just very quietly. He is a star at ninja camp where he excels. And as a museum visitor Wyatt is the best at standing quietly and observing the dinosaur bones. But then a school field trip happens. Wyatt is partnered with Noreen as a field trip buddy. Noreen is the polar opposite of Quiet Wyatt. Wyatt observes and remains quiet as Noreen explains their every move while fishing, canoeing, loudly observing wildlife and other activities. But Noreen's loud voice loosens some rocks that start to avalanche and Wyatt is loud for the first time in his life. He saves Noreen and becomes a hero. The story and illustrations are great. The huge differences between the quiet and loud personalities is illustrated perfectly and young children will enjoy those differences. And listeners and readers will enjoy how the friendship develops between the two children.This is a cute, friendly, enjoyable story. Highly recommended.

Straight Talk for Librarians: This book about different personalities and finding a new friend will work great as a read aloud.
