Customer Reviews

A sweet book of friendship

My 4-year-old daughter has started asking for this on repeat. We've had it for about 3 years and she started showing interest in it a few months ago. She loves the animals and sweet tales of friendship.

What a cute, lovable story

My 1 year old loves the animals but doesn't quite get the story yet, but it's such a sweet story for even adults to enjoy! I am even going to get a copy for my 38 year old sister because I know it would cheer her up on sick days.

Sweet, simple, book about kindness

This is a sweet, simple book about kindness. My 4 and 5 year olds enjoy it and so do I! You won’t regret having it in your home!
