I will make sure to recommend the book to other parents. “(Amazon Review) “This book really shines when you read it to a child. There are plenty of sound effects and colourful descriptions to keep a child's attention. “(Amazon Review) “This is a great book for children over a wide age range. I particularly liked the way the author used her imagination to remind us of the important things in life, like jumping on crunchy autumn leaves and running through long grass. This would make a great book for children starting out on chapter books. The lesson of how important friendships are is invaluable and will be appreciated by parents and children alike.” (Amazon Review)
