When Rose and her family moved to a different part of the forest, nobody wanted to associate with her. More so, she didn't have friends to play with, which is something she desperately desired. Everyone avoided her because she was a skunk, so every animal made faces because of her foul smell. Nevertheless, she always had a way to manage it.

Not only did the other animals refuse to play with her but also refused Rose's help when she offered it. She often wished her family would return to their former habitat, as she deeply missed her former friends. However, during one rainy day, something extraordinary happens that transforms her life in the forest. What is it?

We have a masterfully compiled book. The ranges of background colors on every page made the book seem unique and appealing. Additionally, we have amazing pictures of various animals and geographical features. They are enhanced with varied colors to captivate children's attention. When Rose passes and animals smell her, even their body languages in the pictures showcase their dislike for her. Even readers will feel as if they are in the forest. Furthermore, there is a glossary on the book's last page with terms that might appear complex to children. Those are the things I liked.

ROSE everyone needs a friend by Melanie Ann will teach children courtesy. Despite someone's uniqueness, one is supposed to respect them and show them kindness. We're all born different, with distinctive personalities, abilities, and weaknesses. I feel like this short story is fit as a bedtime story for kids.

With no grammatical errors or omissions, the book is exceptionally well edited. I rate it 4 out of 4 stars. I give this work a full rating because I did not encounter anything to detest. Everything was epic! I recommend it to kids between the ages of 4 to 8 years old.

I'm completely enamored with this book. This is exactly what I need to prepare for my children. It's true that we all require the company of others in our lives. While we're at it, we should also be compassionate. Excellent review.

Rejection sometimes makes us question things around us. We were made for each other not just for ourselves. Thanks for the review
