Norman Didn't Do It! (Yes, He Did.) by Ryan T. Higgins


Norman the Porcupine has a best friend. His best friend is Mildred the Tree. Things are great until one day another tree starts growing near Mildred. What's a porcupine to do? He has to save his friendship with Mildred. Hilarity ensues as Norman reflects on what friendship is. 

Thoughts: Ryan T. Higgins never disappoints! This book is funny and thoughtful. It made me think just like Norman does about what friendship is and what it means to be a friend. I enjoyed the combination of text/narration and speech bubbles. The illustrations are colorful and detailed. I think Norman Didn't Do It would pair well with Sophie's Squash by Pat Zietlow Miller. 

Themes: Porcupines, Trees, Forest Animals, Friendship
