Great for the imagination and increasing vocabulary. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely book, great story line for discussion. *by D***1 on 18 October 2025* Bought this book for nieces having read it over and over again to my own sons. They request that it's read to them on every visit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prepare to read it again, and again, and again... *by D***. on 16 February 2021* My 2 and a half years old son keeps asking me to read this again and again, not only at bedtime. I read in a couple of the reviews that the story has kind of an abrupt ending, and that there is no message. I couldn't disagree more. Each time a page is turned, a new fantastic story unfolds. I can be rather theatrical, and it seems to work amazingly well with my son. It is the classical portrait of a kid who in front of her peers is all adventurous and courageous, but when coming back to the loving mother's protective arms reveals she is frail and vulnerable after all.
