Wink: the Ninja who Wanted to Nap by J.C. Phillipps

Book CoverWink is the "Nimble Ninja," the star of the Lucky Dragon Circus. He has fans everywhere. But stardom has a price, a very tiring one. Now Wink would love to take a much-needed nap, but his devoted fans are following him everywhere. He finds himself back at the Summer Moon School for Young Ninjas, and with the help of Master Zutshu, he comes up with a clever plan to elude his fans and get some shut-eye.
This book is a great squeal to Wink: the Ninja who Wanted to be Noticed. The humor is great, once again the author has done a great job with Master Zutsu's facial expression. My favorite line in the book is when Master Zutsu tells Wink, "One zebra alone is easily seen. A heard creates confusion." To which Wink thinks, Why can't Master Zutsa say anything normal? A great book for everyone.

Wink: the Ninja Who Wanted to be Noticed by J.C. Phillipps

Book CoverNinjas are supposed to be quiet, blend in, and stealthly, aren't they? Not Wink. He's not your typical ninja. He's loud, energetic, and wear brightly colored clothes. Master Zutsu isn't impressed with Wink's antics. Wink finally finds a place where he just be himself.
The humor in this book is great. My favorite character is Master Zutsu whose facial expressions are hysterical, especially when Wink is stick sparring with a panda. Recommend for kids of all ages.
