This collection is upbeat and filled with easily accessible tales that are neither preachy nor didactic...highly recommended.' Jack Magnus, Readers' Favorite. "THE FRONT COVER (paperback) IS WONDERFUL, LOVELY PRINT AND COLOUR. IT'S EXCITING AND DRAWS THE EYE OVER AND ABOVE OTHER BOOKS. I LOVE THE ILLUSTRATION...We feel that this book would be a good addition to any collection and can become a valuable tool in supporting children to understand their feelings and emotions." The Play Doctors. "Thought-provoking. A perfect way for young children to explore their emotional world". The Wishing Shelf Book Awards The stories are now also available on CD.
