Review:Excellent book for little readers. It gives a touching and heartwarming depiction of how some of us aren't what we appear to be on the outside, but we are all capable of great things. Could be a good read for describing disabilities (prosthetics) or transgender (or other identity label) to small children. I highly recommend it!
As a transgender man, I may be using this as one of the possible books to explain my identity and the difference between now and photos on my brother's wall to my y... Read more

Review:As a teacher of two-year-olds, I could not be happier with this book. The Big Book style keeps the children entralled while I "read" the book. Meaning that even though their attention spans can't handle hearing the story word-for-word, they listen as I edit the story in my own way. And by the time the four-year-olds see it, they are listening to every word of this precious story. And at the price it is offered here, even I could afford to add it to my collection. Read more

Review:Its a nice little book not overwhelmingly long or deep of a kids story but my point when I bought this was to be a supplement to Imaginary Fred, Leo, etc Imagination wise.I like a variety of art styles and really just thought this was beautiful(but a little short). I started reading my 4 year old longer books to test his patience with me but in doing so he is more likely to try and read all of these shorter books and memorizes words quickly. Its a sweet little tale I recommend to someone who alr... Read more

Review:This book has a totally different perspective for parents who have recently lost a baby or child; it is somewhat healing and comforting, but will certainly bring you to tears. It is beautifully written, captivating, and emotional. Read more

Review:My daughter like to shot out the main verbage... "my mouth is like a volcano". She hasn't quite grasped the concept yet, she's 7 and top of her class, but she is also an outburst type. I'm hoping that with enough breaks in-between reading and sticking to it that it'll dong on her to think before speaking. Otherwise the book itself is fast paced and fun to read. Read more

Review:Though I don't care for Ms. Phineas' name selections I did enjoy the plot and progression of events. What did the black birds in the tree at Heartease signify; what precipitated their departure? I'd recommend this story to all middle school readers and any adult who wants a good read. You should never judge a book by its cover - nor people either! Read more

Review:My parents have been neighbors and close friends of Peter Spier for well over 30 years. Peter has even included our family in a couple of his stories. His gentle approach and kindness are reflected in his drawings and his writing. My children grew up on his books and now my grandchildren will soon be exposed to his wonderful story telling.

Review:I chose this rating because it was funny, imaginable and just amazing, but mostly funny.
What I liked about it is how at first he was sleeping and imagining things
but after, when he heard the bad news, he would've fallen off a cliff then go back to that school.
I would recommend this book to probably teenagers or younger because these middle school books are very funny, and encourages me to get the full version of this book! Read more

Review:Text is short, easy to understand, pictures vibrant and relatable, and perfect to use as a social story for my six-year-old autistic child. At the end of the book, there ideas that parents can use to help their child brainstorm and role play. Read more
