Here's What I Think:
This book came at a perfect time for my son. He is starting kindergarten in fall and very excited. It is a truly charming story of a little girl learning to overcome her fears. The illustrations are stunningly beautiful. And story has a great message without being overtly preachy. All three of my boys enjoyed this book and we have read it several times since it's arrival.
DISCLAIMER: Although I did receive a copy of this title from Barefoot Books in conjunction with MamaBuzz, I was in no other way compensated to publish this review. This is my real and honest opinion.

That sounds like one scary walk to school. Maybe Ruby should take the bus next time.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a cute book...my daughter would quickly put it far, far away. She is SO sensitive that I had to give away some books that were too suspenseful or scary. We can't even watch Nemo!
