Adorable story about finding new friends. This is such a cute book. I really enjoyed it. The artwork is lovely, the text is the perfect amount of repetitive, and the whole thing is just so freaking adorable. Plus there are lots of punny jokes.
Wendell wants a walrus and he is determined to get one. But in the end, he finds something else entirely. Very nice book. I especially liked the illustration of the whale and the walrus at the end. It really tied the whole book together so splendidly.

An absolutely adorable book about a boy wanting a walrus and friendship. The jokes in this book were hilarious.

A very cute book about all the things a boy would do if he had a walrus for a pet. While looking for a walrus, he met a new friend, and didn't need the walrus anymore. This would make a good read aloud for elementary children.

This was a cute story about a boy who becomes obsessed with the idea of having a pet walrus once he sees a cloud shape that looks like a walrus. He ends up finding a boy who does all the same things with him that he wanted to do with the walrus. It's a cute story of friendship.

Stupendiferous, cosmically colossal! So delightful love the word choice and the illustrations add richness.

Wendell really wants a walrus all his own. He has so many fun ideas planned, but can only locate one in the cloud formations outside his house. He does everything he can to acquire one, including tossing a letter in a bottle and letting it drift out to sea. While he waits, Wendell comes across another little boy with a similar wish. As they wait, their friendship blossoms and neither is left lonely for long. Neo and I were drawn to the book, particularly because Wendell is a fellow ginger. We know how outlandish walrus wanting can be, but it's one of those dreams that will always be with us. Hoping Neo can dream up some wonderful wishes, as this was his bedtime story tonight.
