Rhio Saves The Big Day! by John P. Curtin Jr. and John P. Curtin Sr. is the story of Rhio the Rhinoceros, his three friends - Liam the Lion, Carrot the Rabbit, and Joey the Bear - and their adventures. Rhio was always helpful and cheerful and wanted to help people, though at times it caused problems. One day his parents had gone out and his friends were at home. They were all feeling hungry and decide to have a cook out. They have fun, but manage to spoil the oven. Now Rhio's mother cannot use it and she wanted to bake a cake for Rhio's nanny's birthday. She decides to ask Liam's mother for help. What follows is a series of mishaps, but will the cake be ready in time?
The story is a fun read with a positive message to young readers that things can be made right even if everything goes wrong. The illustrations are bright and charming and breathe life into the characters and scenes. The characters are palpable and children can connect well with them. It's a good bedtime storybook and can be used for read aloud sessions in classrooms and school libraries. Stories with a good message are understood better when narrated with the help of illustrations. It's a lovely book to give as a gift. Rhio, Liam, Carrot, and Joey will capture the hearts of young readers with their antics.
