I used this book in my classes when I was teaching. It works for all ages, even Middle School. The children loved it and spent several days giving each other warm fuzzies on pieces of paper after I read it to them. In an age where bullying is so prevalent, this book is a wonderful tool. I've read it to my grandchildren too. I recommend it strongly to anyone. It's even good for adults to read.

I absolutely love this book! Growing up hearing the "warm fuzzy story" told to me by verbal storytelling, I was delighted to find this book in print. I have used it to read many children to sleep at summer camps and overnights and have bought several copies to give away. This is an endearing story with a wonderful, positive message that kids CAN change the world and the illustrations are just TOO cute!

This is a wonderful story, a moral tale. It should be required reading in all schools. I recommend it highly to all ages. Buy extra copies and give them away. Truly a "teaching" and "lesson" for children in giving goodness out to others
