A touching and timeless story about finding friendship in unlikely places from the award-winning creator of Extraordinary Jane

Rupert is a rhinoceros of refined sensibilities. Levi, the new tickbird in class, is not. He burps the alphabet, tells corny jokes, and does really embarrassing air guitar solos. Worse, he lands right on Rupert and is determined to be Rupert's symbiotic best pal! Rupert wants him gone. But when Levi finally does bug off, Rupert finds the peace and quiet a little boring. It turns out, Rupert could really use a friend like Levi.

This sweet and moving friendship story shares an important message of acceptance for every reader--whether they're a Rupert or a Levi.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2—Rupert, a quiet rhino, gets more than he bargains for when a loud and obnoxious tickbird named Levi shows up at school and hops onto his nose. At first, Rupert, who enjoys reading dictionaries, listening to classical overtures, and eating cucumber sandwiches, is annoyed by Levi's presence. The raucous bird enjoys corny jokes, armpit farts, and popping wheelies. The two spend a lot of time together until Rupert devises a plan to make Levi leave but somehow the persistent little tickbird manages to stick to him like glue, at least for a while. When Levi is finally out of Rupert's hair, the rhino finds himself alone and feeling terrible. In the end, the two agree to become friends, creating an unusual pairing full of laughs and unexpected surprises. Like most of Harrison's books, this story is visually appealing and uses metaphors to deliver a cleverly crafted message about the value of friendship and interdependence. Robust vocabulary enriches the story line and creates opportunities for teachable moments. Underpinning the story is a series of kid-friendly antics that will undoubtedly tickle a few funny bones. VERDICT Teeming with emotionally stirring messages about the benefit of symbiotic relationships, this book will not only serve as a great read-aloud but will also help reshape the future of character education.—Andrea Jamison, Lincoln Elementary School, Calumet City, IL

Harrison's illustrations are to die for, and she always has wholesome, sweet stories that children will love. Wish I could go back and read her books to my own children who are now grown!

5.0 out of 5 stars Friendship story with subtle bit of STEM
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2018
A story of the quintessential odd couple. Where a cultured, impeccably dressed rhino, complete with a bow tie and sweater, is confronted with a persistent, rude, bedraggled tickbird.
Even though, predictably they become friends, the ending is satisfying. Hannah's illustrations are loaded with treasures and humor and I love the rich vocabulary she uses throughout the book.
Subtly placed within the greater message of friendship and acceptance of others lies the scientific nugget of the symbiotic relationship between rhinos and tickbirds. Tucked into the end pages, there are two definitions of "sym-bi-o-sis," which track the development of Rupert & Levi's friendship.
Overall this is a great book about starting friendships, especially some unlikely ones, with a bit of science and language arts (vocabulary and dictionary usage) thrown in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rupert and Levi are my new favorite friend pairing
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2018
Rupert and Levi are my new favorite friend pairing. I hope we see more of them! As someone who always sees themselves as the embarrassing friend, I'm glad there's a book I can give to all of MY friends to show them how much I appreciate them. Harrison's playful use of language, paired with her awesome illustrations (the dodgeball scene is hilarious!), make this book laugh-out-loud funny. But don't let that fool you, it will also hit you right in the feels.

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2018
I love this book so much I hug it whenever I read it. And I read it quite often. This is a book that adults will not want to hide from their children after the 100th read. And the opportunity to learn the shades of meaning behind one big word is a plus!

3.0 out of 5 stars Too old, too young
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2019
This is a really cute book, BUT... It is listed as being for kids ages 4-8. Having seen the reactions of multiple kids ages 5-8, I have to say that the concept of this book is way over most of their heads. Although it uses fun and rude sounds and stuff that young kids love to do (and some parents won't allow - like arm pit farts), it also uses words, cliche's, and comments that adults will easily understand, but not many kids. There are words and concepts that will create a need for a parent to practically create a lesson plan to help many children understand what the book is even about. If you are a parent who is willing to put out a bit of time just to read and explain one book, this one might be for you. However, I would suggest it is more for ages 9 and 10, and may even be over some of their heads, but they are able to read and study the book on their own, if they wish. I can tell the author wanted it to be fun and educational, but too much "schooling" is required during the readings, and most parent's don't want to spend that much time or effort on a book. So, I'm giving it 3 stars for cuteness and the author's good intent.
