Rating: ★★★★★
My Review: This was an interesting title but I think that reading about being upstanding and actually standing up for someone else are two different things. To many times kids will read (or be forced to read) something as well as being nice to siblings etc. But, once they are put into a situation to be kind they don't take it. This book will set them on that path to choosing to be kind and to stand up for those they see being bullied etc.
With easy to follow instructions and themes to make kids think this was a wonderful title for all ages.
