Lovely read.

Great message. Well written, easy to follow. 5 year old enjoyed. Quicker read than what we are doing currently but the message is so important and well expressed. Also lots of racial diversity in the illustrations. Thumbs up.

Beautiful and encouraging book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2019Verified Purchase
A gorgeous book that celebrates the unique qualities of every child, showing that the things that make them smart aren’t ‘just ticks and crosses’ and ‘knowing all the answers ever’, but can also be things like creativity, kindness, caring, asking questions, day-dreaming, and just being yourself. The lovely rhyming text and vibrant illustrations with splashes of neon make this a truly unique book. Perfect for little ones starting school, but great for a wide range of ages!

Rhyming goodness
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 August 2020Verified Purchase
Lovely rhymes and illustrations that young kids (around 2 years plus) can relate to. Good length and easy to read for bedtimes - no dark fonts on dark pages which is difficult to read in a dark room!

Love this book, it would work for kids from 2 up I think. It’s such a good message to send to children. Some of the words are americanisms but I just change them when I read it!
