I purchased the book for my 7 yr old and it seemed a little advanced for her, but she is reading it and was enthusiastic enough to take it to her teacher to show. I purchased it to teach her about the natural human (and other) frailty... Sometimes, a young child can be hard on themselves in their perceptions of an error.

*by G***R on October 29, 2017*

What a great book, have used it twice for the topic in teaching paragraph writing. The stories are great and interesting, it really got the students engaged in their writing.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Three Stars
*by S***S on January 10, 2018*

The images are pretty but I wish they would’ve use a simpler and attractive language for kids.
