Yes, there are good and bad points for the book. I think the illustrations are fabulous; one of the best parts of the book. Thanks.

Wonderful review! I completely agree that a book should be written keeping in mind the audience. Kids sometimes feel it difficult to cope with hard words.

Frankly speaking, I haven't heard of zorilla too... Otherwise this book sounds like a great and educational read for kids :) Amazing review!

I found that reading poetry to my baby sister left her with a love of lyrics. Now her children also write lyrics. This book sounds like a great one for reading out loud.

It was educational, at least. I now know there's a creature known as a Zorilla. Thanks!

The book seems to set kids on the right path. I like that Miss Henny uses scriptural insertions to emphasize on the importance of being loving and truthful. Thanks for the review.

Yes, the scriptural element was a nice touch. It's a good book; it just needs some reworking. Thanks!
