If you've read any of my other recent book reviews, you'll already know that I start all of them off in the same way, by saying that every book starts off with a solid 5 stars and that I'm always hopeful that they will all still be stuck solidly in place by the time I close the back cover.
I've always had a special interest in books that are for those groups who are less well catered for, and the cover of this book seems to show that there will be a variety of children who aren't usually catered for, so I can't wait to get started on this book!
Let's get the front cover opened up and start reading.
There are a few totally blank pages in my version which is a touch worrying... they must be blank for a reason, right?
It's great that there are a few questions to ask on each page, but maybe they could be in a different font or colour or something like that, so that the adult reading it with the child doesn't get confused?
It's awesome to see such a range of children playing on this page! WTG the author and illustrator!
Oh dear, poor Bliss sitting there all tearful while surrounded by so many other happy children playing together!
A good way to end the book... I'd like to have seen the final image showing a different breakdown of the family though - either same gender or disabled or mixed race or something like that?
Overall a very worthy 5 stars and deserves a place on your child's bookshelf.

Thank you, AuthorHouse, for the advance reading copy.
The book is a good one encouraging kids to not feel lonely or isolated when it comes to school and not having friends. The book will help understand the young readers that it is okay to not have many friends but to feel enough to have a few friends, even consider pets as friends.
However, I feel the illustrations could have been a lot better.
