A good lesson about sharing and working together. Hopefully Kait will share with her sister.

Gorgeous illustrations and fun. I love how the class worked together to help Posy and Bluey. I love that the teacher was male also

This picture book provides opportunities to discuss with students the benefits of acting like a community in a classroom, sharing tasks and asking for help when it is needed.

“No Help Wanted” is Ruth Ohi’s latest book. It teach about the importance of knowing when to call for help and that asking for help is okay. Children are taught to learn how to do things on their own, but when something goes wrong it is good to know that you can ask for help. Ohi both writes and illustrates “No Help Wanted”. The illustrations are clean and colourful. I had to chuckle when I saw one of Ohi’s other books (Fox and Squirrel Help Out) on a page featuring books on the table surrounding the goldfish. The plot of the story is simple, the illustrations are good, and the story is solid. It’s a good picture book.
