This is a beautiful book - especially for anyone with children who are a bit more sensitive and who like their own company. Gerald, although happy in his own routine, discovers just what friendship can do for his happiness

Beautiful illustrations - I would have no qualms in recommending to anyone looking a children's book with a big heart ♥

This really is a lovely book, with beautiful illustrations.
The book is very simple, and really teaches children how important friendship is and how you can have everything in the world, but without friendship you can feel lonely.
Great book!

I love the illustrations in this book! They are absolutely adorable and I just want to look at them for minutes! Excellent work! And the characters and story are so lovely that every child would love to reread this again! Thank you for this book!!!

So much to see and discuss in this jolly picture book. Gerald is happy and contented in his own garden, with the same daily routine. But one day, he meets Marcel the mouse at market and learns just how much joy friendship can bring to our lives. Beautifully illustrated, this will be a lovely addition to young children's bookshelves.
