This sounds like a great children's book. It has a strong moral and interesting artwork. I don't usually like books that only rhyme sometimes but it seems like everything about this book is enjoyable.

I love animals myself, and I think that they can make excellent characters in books, particularly children's books. With excellent illustrations and writing, and also a great message, I think that this book serves several purposes. The story and the illustrations will encourage a love of reading, the characters will ensure empathy towards animals, and the message of the story will encourage children to be empathetic towards the more serious things in life. My children are adults now, but perhaps I can read and share tis book with grandchildren in the future. The review was very vivid and enjoyable to read.

I like the cute ones that rhyme and are simple for the younger ages. I do not know how I feel about this book just yet I would have to read some of it. Thanks for the in-depth review.
Just wanted to wish you luck with your plans, but then noticed date, so I hope all is great already! :D

It’s never too early to reach about kindnesses, so I’ll gladly share this story with my son. We’re in a dinosaur phase and I think he’d like this one. I like that there’s no forced rhyme as well!

This looks like such a cute story with all the neat artwork and the beautiful message. I find it great when an author can give such deep meaning to
a children’s book. And our world could use a bit more heart fullness right now. Thanks for more insight on this one.

I agree with you. If the kids cannot connect with the characters or the topic in the story it doesn't matter how great the book is because it won't get their attention. This book seems perfectly executed!
Thanks for your enthusiastic review!

Aw, what a cute story! And a fun (and funny) way to teach kids how to find a solution that fits for everyone. Things don't have to be one or the other, kids--you can create a third way, something that works for everyone. And if you're doing it with kindness, even better. Thanks for your review!

Useful lessons with colorful illustrations is already enough to make a children's book a worthwhile read. What's even better in this book is the writing, which is successful at communicating the central message clearly. I like that the storyline imparts the message of kindness and acts of service. Thank you for the detailed review.

The most important thing for a children's book is that it has to grab the child's attention - enough to make him/her want to read the book - and the other is for them to understand it. This book is just that. It has good lessons to be learnt and the child will understand it really easily.
