Personally, I have gone to class in my elementary days without my Valentine's day cards for my classmates! Oh, the humanity. I remember the embarrassment I felt and love I received despite my early mistake. This book provides a humorous and interesting take on a common elementary age issue. I do not know if Valentine's day card making is part of modern curriculum but the exercise proves useful in promoting unity, friendship and holiday activity. This book is a simple reminder in the lesson show more of friendship. A great addition for the classroom. show less

I recently discovered this book an am so glad that I did. Upon first reading it I noticed the religious ties it held with Christianity. There story line is about a kite who no longer wants to be confined to a string and a boy, but after experiencing what it is like to not have that guide decides he feels much safer in the arms of the boy. If not in a classroom, this book is one that I will use in the home. It incorporates a fabulous life lesson while engaging the children in an interesting show more story line. show less

This book is easy to read and very colorful. Great context to keep young children's attention. I feel it would be an appropriate book to read in a classroom. The funny dinosaurs teach throughout the story how to be kind and considerate. And how it is a great way to meet friends! I would definitely recommend this book, especially to those with children who are about to start school for the first time.
