Meh. Alpacas are great. But this book.....I felt it only brought about good results (a clean room) after someone lost their cool. Not exactly how I want to teach doing the right thing.
Well thought out book for younger children the talks about bullying in a format for children. Very delightful read.
This life-the-flap book uses opposites to talk about different types of dinosaurs.
