Colourfully illustrated story about spreading happiness and friendship. Such smiling faces on all pages. A great book for children. Thanks for the review.

Children's books are always timeless. I guess we all need reminders on the values of life once in a while. Children's books are best suited for this. Thanks for your great review.

The story tells us about obedience, generosity, vigilance, love, and friendship.
I have read the book and your review is indeed a great help for those who haven't read it yet.
The lessons are very much suited for children so that they will know the importance of those mentioned above especially obedience being the vital part because it is the root of the problem.

I have 2 nephews who would benefit from this book. Having gone through emotional trauma, they sometimes lack kindness. I think a book that can teach them to be empathetic to others when they are in pain is something they sorely need. I also think it sounds like a great book for the younger to learn how to read with.

I also liked the bright and colourful illustrations; that and with the moral lessons, the kids are going to love it.

My 4year old nephew loves parties. This book should be a hit with him. Glad it's a simple read and the story teaches a great lesson.

I think my cousin's class in school would love this book! Seems like a great story with good illustrations to make the story become "like a movie" in young children's minds.
