We're Not That Different After All

Okay, comment about the book then the important bit. This is a short book, clearly written, with a couple of pictures. I’m from Scotland and suggest book age range middle primary up to just starting secondary school; so 7 to 11. Important bit from a parent and teacher. Life and issues are probably not often sorted out as simply as in the story (would be nice if they were). But that is not the point. As a parent starting conversations about nice things is easy, issues and problems not so much. You can use this book to be open and honest, to have a conversation with your child about some of these things. Doing that will mean you have a comfortable habit of talking, about nice things and also when real problems arise. Thank you to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for the ARC.

I was quite impressed with this book, the illustrations were bright and eyecatching and the morals and lessons told throughout the story are extremely important and could be effectively used as a tool to teach children right from wrong. The discussion questions at the end effectively contribute to this. This is the sort of text that could effectively be used in my library to support children with lower reading ages gain confidence.

This is a great book for kids - the length is just enough to keep their attention and the bright illustrations will hold it even longer. I would recommend this to my 11 year old.
