This story is very comical. Ella aka Mia has a hard time accepting her uncle's new friend fregus. She tries her best to ignore me even though he's around all the time. The illustrations are brilliantly done. However, there is one illustration I feel pushes the envelope. I'm not quite sure I'd feel comfortable with the book in my class because of it. The illustration shows Ella getting dressed at the pool, and it's like a nude cartoon scene. Additionally, the relationship between her uncle Tommy and Fregus isn't quite clear. I did enjoy the read, but I do feel that this is a book to read at home so a deeper conversation can occur.
