I enjoy the way that this author sets out to get a message across and does it in a way that can be comprehended by children. The pictures and poetry are well suited and the very different voices of the characters distinguish well the moral values dealt with in the book. I also like the fact that the author finishes the book off with an activities page that encourages the lessons learnt within to be revisited.
The artwork is suitable for the age group the book is aimed at and I am sure it will be pointed at by little fingers as it is read to them.

I was surprised to find on reading this book how effectively and with a very child friendly approach the author deals with the serious issues of bullying and intolerance. The book is written in a way that children will comprehend and enjoy, and also highlights situations or events that may already be familiar to them.
The stories themselves are written well and contain enough plans and ideas to keep many a young reader amused. I loved the artwork too, which put me in mind of the old Mad comics that I read as a child many years ago.
The advice sections that follow the stories are a good touch and a nice way of getting the children to relate at their level to the issues dealt with in the story
All in all this is a fun, worthwhile and important read for children and a book that will be enjoyed by many and talked about to others after reading.
