I like this book for it shows children how to help out a person with a disability. It also shows them they are friendly and nice to play with. The artwork is cute, almost like a comic strip and I enjoyed the sayings of the children for it was about the same as what an actually kid might say.
This is a good book to read to children if they have a classmate with a disability or if they know someone in the school with a disability. It shows them to be nice to them and try to be their friend.
