Introducing the Hueys - a fabulously quirky group of characters from internationally best-selling, award-winning author/illustrator Oliver Jeffers, creator of How to Catch a Star and Lost and Found. The thing about the Hueys is that they are all the same.... They all look the same, think the same, and do the same things. Until one day, Rupert knits himself a new jumper.... How will the other Hueys react? A hilarious story about individuality.

"The Huey's are all the same until one day Rupert makes a sweater that sets him apart from everyone. At first, they think it is weird that he is different, but then the sweaters start catching on. This book can be used in the classroom to talk about how it is great to be different." — Michelle (5 out of 5 stars)

" A lovely tale about conformity and breaking out from the crowd. "
" I liked the part where the Hueys had all their sweaters. "
" Jeffers is my favorite children's author, but this one was disappointing. "
" This is a great story about breaking away from the pack and becoming a trendsetter. Slightly reminiscent of Dr. Seuss' Sneetches (which I give 5 stars), but gentler and more easily understood by a younger audience. "
" This was quite clever and amusing. "
" A nice message about individuality, but there wasn't a lot else going on... "
" I love Oliver Jeffers. He's the master of understated, quiet humor, and this is another great example. "
" The Hueys all look alike until one of them starts to wear a sweater and stands out. All of a sudden the rest of the Hueys want to wear sweaters. Book could be used for learning about being the same and different and why it is ok to be different. "
" Another gem from Mr Jeffers. He has a knack for drawing us all in, from 4 to 41 & three quarters, we all adore this book in my family. "
" I want to be different, just like everybody else. "
" What happens when one person decides he wants to be different? Everyone wants to be different. So then how different is he, really? "
" Oliver Jeffers can do no wrong. "
" About individuality. Very much like Naked Mole Rat gets dressed. "
" Thanks Gillespie! You knew I would like this one What a pal. "
" Fun read. Cute illustrations. "
" I love Oliver Jeffers' simple little stories and simple illustrations. A fun book about being different, and what happens when everyone is different together. (Added appeal for people who enjoy wearing "unique" sweaters.) "
" I love Oliver Jeffers and any character named Gillespie, especially if he likes the idea of his friend being different! "
" Funny story about being unique, and, as usual, brilliantly illustrated. Bravo, once again, Jeffers! "

" I thought this book had a lot more potential than what it really was. "
" I liked this, but wasn't quite as enthralled with it as some. Clever drawings and all, but I'm not sure the reading audience for this will appreciate it as much as adults. "
" Hilarious book about being different! "
" A picture book about being yourself/individuality. The Hueys are all the same until Rupert knit himself a sweater. Pay attention to the individual illustrations of other Huey's. They aren't all the same as they seem. "
" Simple illustrations and story about being unique. Do what you like and others may follow. "
" In the tradition of the "Sneeches" this a new series for the tiny people. The Hueys are all the same until one decides to be different. "
