Reviews
Readers know what kind of place they are in when the endpapers include ads for giant-squid repellent and shrimp-of-the-month club and the author and illustrator snark at each other in the dedication. Billy Twitters's room looks much as one might expect: unmade bed, piles of dirty and clean clothes, video games, books, backpack and stuffed toys everywhere. Billy's mom tells him plainly that he's to clean up his room and finish his dinner or "we're buying you a blue whale." He doesn't, and they do. While Rex never reveals the faces of the adults, he does provide nicely detailed diagrams of the size and habits of the blue whale (from FedUp, "Delivering Punishment Worldwide"). Billy has to take his whale everywhere, even though the whale kind of wrecks the classroom and moves Alexis to un-invite Billy and the whale to her pool party. However, the prospect of feeding his whale inspires Billy to a damp and fishy but very boylike solution to the problem of both room-cleaning and whale-sitting. Definitely funny and slyly subversive.-- Kirkus

Synopsis
When his parents threaten to teach him responsibility by giving him a whale, Billy Twitters isn't worried: It's not like you can just have one delivered to your house overnight. But he's wrong. Rex's (Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich) howler of a double-page spread shows an enormous trailer attached to a FedUp truck, an equally massive blue whale suspended from tow straps. Rex's Mad magazinestyle artworkrealistic enough to drive home the humor and full of clever touchesis the perfect choice for Barnett's high-concept debut. Billy hauls the whale to school behind his bike, a skateboard under the creature for easier sliding; confronts the school bully and the school geek (new allies, in league against him); and struggles with blue whale upkeep, like collecting 10,000 gallons of seawater at mealtime (Try the ocean, son, his father suggests). Billy never names his whaleit's more of a burden than a pet. The abrupt ending disappoints somewhat, given the uproarious pages that precede it (the contributors also work in scientific information about blue whalesthough readers, between laughs, may not notice). Still, tons of fun. Ages 37. (June) Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved., When Billy Twitters fails to clean his room (again), his mom makes good on a threat to buy him a pet. However, the pet he gets is a blue whale. Luckily, Billy knows just what to do with it, in this hilarious tale of a boy and his whale. Full color., A blue whale is longer than thirty dogs lined up nose to tail. Its tongue weighs as much as four hundred cats. Blue whales make terrible pets....Just ask Billy Twitters., An uproarious cautionary tale from bestselling picture book phenoms Mac Barnett and Adam Rex!
