It's a very accessible book that really encourages the reader to empathise with a left out child... perfect basis for a discussion about bullying and in Leggi tutto

I thought this book was a lovely text to have in a classroom about how easy it is to make someone feel included. The consistent rhyming pattern throughout this book would make it easy and fluent for children to read. The simplicity of the illustrations is fantastic. The black and white for character Leggi tutto

A simple story with a simple but powerful message. Children may recognise this in themselves and possibly in others.

A lonely dog finds friends when he asks to play with them, but a boy looking on doesn't have the same courage to ask to play, leaving him all alone until the dog notices him and asks him to join. A powerful message of being aware of those who are left out and Leggi tutto

A book about including others and how to be a friend. I like that it started from a dog's perspective before a child's perspective, to ease the reader into the message. The back cover of the book had how to say hello in many languages, and I wish the children illustrated were from diverse background Leggi tutto
