Review:
Get ready to laugh out
loud! This hilarious story is about a little cavegirl who is always mad because
no one can say her name correctly. The kids on the playground attempt to cheer
her on when she plays but they never seem to get it right. Finally,
Wakawakaloch had enough and told her parents she wanted to change her name.
Instead, they sent her to the Elder Mooch and she learned about her ancestor
and namesake. Do you think she will change her mind and not her name?
There are plenty of people
who have difficulties with their names. There are some fun examples on the
interior pages. Parents and teachers can do a read-a-loud with this cute story
to get kids giggling about names and what they might mean. Beginners will find
this story easy to read and a lot of fun.

This is a fun book based on the premise. Names help us identify ourselves and when people don't get them correct, I know I feel like they didn't pay attention/I wasn't important enough to remember. dhammelef(at)yahoo(dot)com I shared: https://yesreaderwriterpoetmusician.tumblr.com/post/187758262957/my-name-is-wakawakaloch
