Recommends it for:
parents reading with their children
This is an interesting tale about how mean words can really hurt someone's feelings and that a sincere apology can go a long way to erase the damage done. The narrative is entertaining, with a lot of repetition and a hit-you-on-the-top-of-the-head morality, and the illustrations are colorful. We discovered this book because it was recommended by the author in the book, Little Girls Can Be Mean: Four Steps to Bully-proof Girls in the Early Grades. We enjoyed reading this story together.
This is a good book to use for writing when explaining a circular plot. It also shows how one unkind remark can cause a lot of different people to have a bad day.
