Favorite book of my 4 years old daugther
Well written and illustrated book. The hard cover version is very solid and suitable for kids. Used words are not complicated for the non native English speaking. Strongly recommend!

Diabolically Overrated
This is one of those books which the middle class believes is helpful for learning how to appreciate identity differences. It is actually a litany of meaningless class signals strewn together into a weak story. The expressions, from the word "chrysanthemum" down to declaring the kid "absolutely perfect" we know we're on sure middle class footing. After "Chrysanthemum" gets (very very very mildly) taunted for her name, one of the teachers re-frames the situation by saying she'd name her daughter the same. The bullies fall in line. So, the authority figure comes in to save the day with a conclusion bereft of any meaning whatsoever. The end. I suppose the mediocrity wouldn't be so bad if this book simple wilted like a chrysanthemum in a vacuum, rather than soaking up accolade after accolade for no apparent reason. There are so many better kid's books out there. I suppose we, like the bullies in the book, are susceptible to the views of perceived authority. The irony is mind boggling.

Great book to teach children about rights and respect
Great book to teach children about rights and respect. If you are teaching in the UK please be aware that this book has the word 'pish' inside it. I'm not sure about in England but in Scotland the word 'pish' is viewed as a swear word.

This was my son’s favorite book as a child and a favorite now of my grandchildren. The message is sweet and simple and the illustrations are cute. It’s a perfect little story! I bought it for my almost 3 year old grandson, but the story is equally suitable for a 5 year old.
