Review:


How adorable is it when a child wants nothing more than to please his or her elders by doing something that will please his or her elders of their own choosing?

This book is great not only for children to learn and understand how actually respecting elders can be satisfying for them but it also help adults realize that we can give kids the benefit of the doubt.  Sometimes kids are really trying their hardest to do the best we can but adults push them to the limits.  It is great when adults can give kids a push in the right direction, but when it comes to pushing too far, it gets out of control.

With the lesson out of the way, I LOOOOVE and adore the illustrations throughout this story.  While I am not sure if this book would work properly for a storytime, I think it would be good for kids to use this storybook for learning how to read.  It is almost like a pre-chapter book for kids to learn how books that aren't normal storybooks are read.  It's actually pretty cool.

The illustrations are quite interesting.  I am not sure if this is not the finished product or if the illustrator meant to make the illustrations look unfinished.  I would really like to ask the author what his take on this was.

Overall I quite enjoyed this one and would most definitely get it for my library collection.
