But this really is a great story about accepting yourself and being kind to others, acknowledging that we're all some kind of weird, and that's what makes us great. I made the spectacular decision to go ahead and buy the audiobook so I could listen to Matthew read this book to me. I would have read this book no matter what, simply because Matthew Gray Gubler wrote and illustrated it, but it’s so much more incredible than even I expected! This debut has a wonderful message for kids but people who have aged out of childhood also need to be reminded that it’s okay to be different. Anyone who has ever felt like they don’t belong, aren’t good enough or are too different to be accepted by others will relate to Rumple and hopefully realise, as Rumple does, that “ Everyone is weird and that’s what makes us great”. Let’s face it we’re all weird in our own way. I adore Rumple and love that this book is a celebration of weirdness. He spends his time watching people interacting with one another and enjoying their lives but he is desperately alone so he makes his own friend out of trash, Candy Corn Carl. Rumple lives in a drain beneath the town, hiding from the people he’s sure will reject him because he’s weird. Let’s face it we’re all weird in our ow I need to read this book every day for the rest of my life! Also, Rumple Buttercup is my new best friend!

Rumple lives in a drain beneath the town, hiding from the people he’s sure will reject him because he’s weird. I would love more stories like this from him.more If you're a fan of Matthew Gray Gubler, it's a great little novelty story that captures his unwavering individuality. I think the subtext of the novel is particularly brilliant and expertly told through short, simple phrases that resonate easily with readers. It is a short, sweet tale about being weird, accepting yourself, and finding comfort where you belong. I do wish it had been longer and had more content, but I understand that's not the purpose of this story. I was able to read this book in roughly 5-10 minutes due to the spacious nature of the pages and minimal text.
