About this ebook
When Wodney must face off against that big bully Camilla Capybara for a second time, a talking robot becomes his secret weapon. The meek wodent . . . er, rodent . . . hero with a speech impediment and a heart of gold is back! So is Camilla Capybara—the BIG bully who makes poor Wodney and his classmates tremble. But this time, Wodney has a secret weapon: a robot that helps him pronounce his r’s and seems to be just the thing to scare Camilla away for good.
With the second empowering tale about Wodney, Lester and Munsinger use their signature dose of humor to remind us that the little guy can finish first, and it’s often brains—not brawn—that save the day.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a cute story about a little rat that had a speech impediment. I think it would be a great story to have in a classroom because many children can relate to this. In the story a student also makes fun of Wodney. I think this is something else that students can relate to because many people get bullied. This would be a great book to talk to students about why bullying is mean and we should not do it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Wodney Wat can't pronounce his "R's." The bully at school teases him for it. Wodney's wobot repeats whatever he says, but correctly and scares off the bully. This book shows that kids with speech impediments can be heroes too. I feel like Wodney when I stutter and it's extremely frustrating. It makes me not want to talk to strangers. I avoid phone calls and I only speak when I really have to. So I really related to Rodney and I think that books like this are important because they provide us with that sense of empathy and we need that. Adults, as well as children can learn from these books because I've have adults, grown people make fun of me! It's a shame how much more accepting little kids are.

Summary: When Wodney must face off against that big bully Camilla Capybara for a second time, a talking robot becomes his secret weapon. The meek wodent . . . er, rodent . . . hero with a speech impediment and a heart of gold is back! So is Camilla Capybara—the BIG bully who makes poor Wodney and his classmates tremble. But this time, Wodney has a secret weapon: a robot that helps him pronounce his r’s and seems to be just the thing to scare Camilla away for good.
What I liked about the book: I love these stories about Wodney, an adorable character who demonstrates that it's ok to not be perfect. Wodney does not let his speech impediment hold him back. I like that even though Camilla is the same mean spirited character from Hooway For Wodney Wat, she does manage to be helpful to Wodney when she is the only one to figure out how to fix the robot. This book, like the previous one is a great story about overcoming bullies and other challenges.
What I didn't like about the book: I liked it all.
