This book seems to enlighten to us about the process of a child growth on how much parents are the main influence to a child at this young age. While I read your quotes from this book, they appeared to me that this author did well in writing how the children feel or express their emotion in general. Definitely a must read to me. Thank you for your detailed review!

From your review, the book sounds like a must-read for children. They often struggle with friendship and other complications in their peer group that we adults tend to neglect, thinking these are child-like issues and will take care of themselves. I believe this book can be handy in such situations and can provide the children with some sort of moral values to follow. Thanks for the review!

Seems like a really good book, and may help children learn some things as well. My daughter is too old to read this to, or with. But, it sounds like I may actually enjoy it anyway.
Honestly, a big fat yes! Everyone will love this read. Thank you for commenting!

Will on the hill is really a story that parents can easily read with their children anytime.

But my opinion on presenting a real story to a child is on the positive side. As they can learn from it and know what to avoid in life.
Books are lovely.

Yes, that's true. Besides that's is no need to produce negativity to them. I have seen lot bullying issues in America , thanks to internet, so I'm not surprised with the author choosing this type of read. Thank you! :tiphat:

From a sampling, this is an interesting and amusing story for younger readers about a boy who is trying to go to his school at the top of a mountain while dealing with his classmates'and a teacher that appear as if they are real life people. And all while riding a rocket-propelled school bus up to his school. Well done.
