Amusing, cute way to teach the important message.

[Dolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is one book in a series of books (three so far) that offers a Buddhist philosophy and story, adapted for children. The moral of the story is a worthwhile one, although some of the philosophy is fairly lofty. The illustrations are pretty good and the characters are interesting, though typecast, animals. I prefer the Zen Ties books by Jon J. Muth, however.

I use this book all the time with children to talk about how we can regulate our emotions and choose how we react to a given situation.
