Thanks LivreAmour and Greenstripedgiraffe. Livre, it's so true that the pictures are so important in a children's story and the illustrator deserves to get the credit on the cover. That's awesome that your father illustrated a book!

Same here. I like the theme of this book, very helpful and obviously told not traditionally but rather in a way that would be enjoyed by kids. That is such a brilliant way to teach a serious lesson. Great job on the review :)

Thank you for the lovely review! I really enjoyed reading it and I agree that the illustrator should have their name prominently displayed.

Thanks Bluemel! The illustrations are such an important part of a children's book and, in this case, they really enhanced the story.

Thanks Joyful for your kind words and welcome to the boards. :) I sometimes can get too analytical and ramble on in my reviews, so I really appreciate the nice feedback.

Great work on a very worthwhile topic. Well done. Not easy to get important messages across to children but holding their attention during delivery is an art.

It is exciting so see children's books that still have the ability to fascinate the adult mind. As a child, all the books with such lessons that I loved had a touch I could not describe. This book sounds like such, I look forward to reading it.
