Classroom Uses: Storytelling, Read Alouds
This story is good for children and parents. It shows that a child needs more than "mountains of food, lots of things to play with and plenty of mud". This book reminds busy parents to have a quality time with their kids.
It has beautiful pictures and is a touching story worth reading.
Highly Recommended!
