* Kids Book Review *
This is a handsome, hardcover volume with a sumptuous gold-embossed cover. The vibrant illustrations throughout enhance the written text and the layout is attractive with illustrations forming full pages, borders or are interspersed amongst a page of text. This is the sort of book which can be read right through, dipped into to read individual stories, used as a read-aloud and used as a discussion starter on the important messages it contains. * CBCA: Reading Time *
