"Pete Cluckington and the Others by Melody Monroe is an interesting and educative children's book with many lessons. The story also calls out to parents because biases and discrimination occur either deliberately or unintentionally in our everyday lives. This book talks about the preconceived notions we tend to have about others, even before getting to know them. It looks at how we couldn't be more wrong by stereotyping people. Melody's storyline is unique, approaching this great lesson from the viewpoint of animals. The illustrator, Ginger Triplett, did an awesome job by using attractive colors that appeal to the eye. I loved that the story was simple, easy to follow, and exceptionally edited. Every parent and child should read this book. Lastly, hate isn't innate but acquired, and we can do without it."
