This is a cute book about a boy who buys a rhinoceros.  But the rhinoceros doesn’t do any thing so the boy calls an expert.  The expert tells him that the rhinoceros can do two things, pop balloons and poke holes in kites.  “How pathetic.”

But when the boy takes his rhinoceros to the park he doesn’t pop the balloons or poke holes in the kites, until they see two robbers flying away.  One in a balloon and one in a kite.  The boy points to the balloon and says,”Pop!” and the rhinoceros pops the balloon and the robber falls to the ground.  Then the boy points to the kite and says,”poke a hole,”  and the robber in the kite falls to the ground.

I turns out that the rhinoceros can fly too!

The illustrations are wonderful.
