[Margaret Chind · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a fun early reader with an easy to read and understand story. Filled with characters of animals we do not see in our everyday life it takes us half way around the world or more to Australia. Full of a lesson to think of and put others first Troo and his friends learn a lot. There are some environmental factors too. This could be a good one for Earth Day.

*Thanks to Zondervan for providing a copy for review.*

A thoughtful and sweet read that draws attention to being considerate of others, thinking before doing, repentance, and kindness. It focuses on Philippians 2:4. It also expresses in a simple and concise manner important educational topics of keeping nature safe.
