"The story book illustrates a lovely dialog between a mother and her son in a fun way. It shows a strong relationship between both of them. I suggested for second and third grade children as well as for second language learners to build up their language proficiency."
— Fatima (4 out of 5 stars)
“The message is reassuring and could be used to prepare children for times when a parent is away from home.”
— School Library Journal“Kids will welcome the reassurance as they laugh at the wild exaggeration and recognize their fears.”
