THE REVIEW:
I can see how this book could be helpful to kids when it comes to teaching them kindness, empathy, and generosity. The stories were very well executed, easy to follow and comprehensive for most part for the age group they were aimed at.
Although at times it did feel like the text was prolonged and might be a bit difficult to follow for a child reading on their own, for example. Therefore, it is perfect for reading along with an adult so they can explain and go through what is happening in each of the stories.
The writing style was like poetry, easy to follow and emphatic, giving the topic of the book. The illustrations were cute and did bring the whole concept of the book together.
I do recommend this book, and I gave it a solid 4 stars.
