Thanks, Geoffrey. From your review, it sounds like this book is not only entertaining but also covers the theme of expansive love - how many people can we love without it diminishing the love we already have for some of them? I'll try this on my granddaughter when she is old enough.

I have children but since geoffrey did another extraordinary job on the review, I think I'm going to be selfish and read it to myself. Haha.
Great JOB, geoffrey!!!

I can already see myself in that farm with Farmer Beau and the rest. Your style of writing is quite interesting. Great job.

I've read this book. I also thought it was a good book for children to enjoy with their families!

Great Review! ?

A kitten, a bunny and a giraffe playing together makes for a funny picture. I'm sure Malissa will not want to play Hide and Seek, though.

Thanks for sharing your happy thoughts, Geoffrey Ngoima!

I came across this book but I was hesitant to review it, but I think it's a better consideration. Nice review.

Nice review of this book. It sounds like a book kids would love. Will read it if there's a kid to read it to. Thanks for the review.

Great review, geoffrey ngoima! I've got three relatively young kids myself, and this is a message they all need to learn.

I always appreciate children's books for their role in shaping the minds to the little ones. I can garner from Kathleen Geiger's story that children will learn the beauty/importance of friendship and acceptance. Ever so often, we as humans tend to feel that the presence of a new person in our communal lives will detract from the love and attention we receive as individuals. This book is a subtle yet powerful reminder that there should always be room for love and care in our hearts. Thanks for the insightful review. :clap:
