Life can be hard, but it's a lot easier when you are a good person, trying to do the right thing surrounded by people who love you! Goodness has a way of being contagious. Lucky boy. Lucky MAMA.

Review from www.childcareexchange.com
"This book captures, shares, and sparks the continuation of conversations initiated at the inaugural Working Forum for Teacher Educators in Auckland, New Zealand.

This book is a wonderful Summer reading adventure for you and your kids. The tale is told in beautiful rhyming verse and Axel Scheffler’s illustrations are extraordinary. Even my somewhat “older” girls still like hearing this one read aloud. And of course the little ones always love the rhyming books; they sound like songs and make them much more fun!
The story is sort-of a maritime version of the old lion and mouse fable. Remember the great big scary lion who spares the mouse one day and the mouse promises to some day help the lion? The lion scoffs, but true to his word, when the lion is...
