<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"First published in the United Kingdom in 2018 by Templar Publishing"--Copyright page.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In a society of lemmings, can a bear ever belong?<br>The Society of Distinguished Lemmings aims to be distinguished in absolutely everything. It takes an awful lot of rules to be so distinguished, including: no rolling around, no climbing about, and certainly no splashing in the mud! But Bertie has had quite enough of the society and all its rules. After venturing outside, Bertie discovers a bear, who is very unlike a lemming. With the bear's help, Bertie learns that prancing about in the wild is quite a lot of fun! But when the other lemmings find out about the bear, they decide everything about him will have to change if he's ever to fit in. Will the Society ever accept Bertie's new friend, or is the bear simply too big and clumsy of a creature to be distinguished?<br>This hilarious tale features valuable themes of finding new friends, challenging peers, and questioning the rules. Readers will return to the story again and again to discover the quirks of every distinguished lemming while also learning about the importance of staying true to yourself amidst pressure to conform.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This debut picture book requires multiple reads to absorb all of the humor in the various lemmings' conversations and activities like dressing and packing. A quirky addition." --School Library Journal<br><br>"Colombet's story of friendship and embracing differences shines most in its endearing pencil illustrations, digitally colored in rustic tones. Speech bubbles scatter across scenes crowded with lemmings, resulting in an adorable and hilarious peanut gallery guaranteed to elicit giggles from little readers." --Booklist<br><br>"Colombet packs her story with vivid personalities (the earnest, wide-eyed lemmings are a collective hoot), visual jokes, and, as befits a large, opinionated community, many, many dialogue balloons. There is much to linger over and return to in these pages." --Publishers Weekly<br><br>"Even the most rule-bound reader will be cheered up by these stodgy lemmings." --Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW<br>
