A refined rhino finds unexpected friendship with a quirky tickbird.
Rupert, a sophisticated rhinoceros, is annoyed by Levi, a boisterous tickbird who insists on being his friend. Levi's antics drive Rupert crazy, but when Levi leaves, Rupert discovers that solitude isn't as satisfying as he thought. Could this unlikely duo find common ground and form a true friendship? This heartwarming tale explores the beauty of acceptance and the joy of finding companionship in unexpected places.
"I'm Rupert. I like reading dictionaries, listening to classical overtures and eating cucumber sandwiches with no crust."
— from the book
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.
