Loved this book for children, I loved the story and illustrations that come with it, bonus is that it’s in large print which makes it easier for a child to learn to read/ to be read by someone if their eye sight is not good for example.
This book teaches them not to give up and to help others in need if you see them struggle.
Sid who is a determined snail dreams of flying so high in the sky like his friends who live in the forest which include the cricket, bunny and the bee. But no matter how hard he tries his heavy shell weighs him down, he soon meets a friendly frog who teaches him to love and accept who he truly is meant to be and accept that somethings are impossible to achieve but on the other hand with sheer determination you can achieve your goal if it’s something you want to do, also to never give up.
Here is a delightful story for young children, complete with charming illustrations. It radiates an optimistic outlook that inspires children to appreciate themselves as they are while pursuing their dreams and finding ways to realize them. Additionally, the vocabulary is perfectly suited for early readers. Five stars!
