Reviews:

“Warm and fuzzy. This book could be used for preschoolers learning to respect the personal space of others.”

“What a charming book about the emotions! The illustrations are cute and fun and keep the message from every getting heavy-handed. This is a great read-aloud for toddlers and young preschoolers.”
