This story is such a warm, kind story - I really enjoyed reading it! And Allie really loved it as well - which is probably more important!
Personally, there can never be too many engaging stories for kids with the message on how important being kind and nice are. What was a nice twist on this story was that included in the message about being nice to others, was a story that included lots of wonderful facts about Africa and African culture. In my opinion you got two lessons for the price of one!
In addition to the story, the book also includes lots of extra learning points about Africa, the animals and the people - what a great bonus for parents/teachers who are looking for added opportunities to enrich the reading and learning that can go along with this book! There is also a fabulous website which offers even more great information - including a reading of the story narrated by the author! This book is a great addition to any library - be it a child's library at home, your school library or your child's classroom library!
