— Steve, age 7“ The Mayor didn’t tell the truth, and that’s not good.”
— Marcus, age 8“ The scene in the pet shop was a delightful way to show how much stuff one has to buy when adopting a pet. Paying with cash instead of a credit card was a nice touch.”
— Steven, parent of one, grandparent of two“ What a wonderful device to help children understand the importance of simple, yet very important life lessons. The PAWS approach and the timely theme of this book are right on the mark. Where’s the next one?”

— Georgia, age 8
