I bought this book as sort of a joke, because it sounded so typically California sufer dude. And it is, but it is also awesome. Children love the colorful pictures and rhythmic language. Adults never get tired of reading it to the kids because it is so funny. This book now forms the centerpiece of my standard baby gift for new parents (along with a beach pail, swimsuit, or other appropriately aquatic-themed item). Everyone who's received one has told me they and their children love it.

My kids like the book so much that they drew their own pictures of rhinos surfing. Best of all, they are bugging me to take them surfing with me.

The book is colorful, funny and teaches kids surfer slanguage in a fun way and at a fun pace.

Rhinos who surf is a colorful, exciting adventure into the world of surfing. As a surfer myself, this author accuratly captures the lingo of the surfing world in a fun way. I keep buying more and more copies for mu surfing friends.

Julie Mammano's book is entertaining and enjoyable. Her vivid (and detailed) illustrations alone would make the book worthwhile, but add in the portrayal of rhinos, and the piece is even better. It's perfect for a gift or for reading aloud--kids love it.

Rhinos who surf follows three rad rhinos from dawn to dusk on a surfing safari. Julie Mammano's language and watercolors capture the excitement of surfing and convey real enthusiasm for the sport. A great one to read aloud. Cowabunga!!

This book is so cute. I was having trouble with my eight year old wanting to read. I got this book thinking it unique, and may capture her interest since we love to go to the beach and watch the surfers. She loves it! We had to buy them all. The illustrations are very cool.
