A perfect read-aloud book!! *****A FIVE STARS READERS’ FAVORITE® and *****MOM’S CHOICE AWARDS® SILVER MEDALIST honoring excellence!! *****Awesome children's book with great lessons taught!! What a great series Liana-Melissa Allen has started!!! I loved both "The Three Little Horses and the Big Bully Donkey" as well as "Donkey's Kite". My 7-year-old daughter enjoyed the story but she absolutely loved all the awesome illustrations. I love a picture book with great teaching points and Mrs. Allen has hit the nail on the head with very relevant subject matter in her series. ---Michelle McCormick Amazon Book Review *****A kite helps bring strangers and friends together in a relatable tale for children in “Donkey’s Kite". The storyline includes humorous moments, which add light to the story’s theme. It offers some teachable moments and character lessons around bullying and helping others succeed. The well-rounded story is relatable for children and provides examples they can glean from their lives or those of other children they know. The character Gusty provides an example of how children can help each other, even when they’re different, and especially when they struggle to achieve a goal. Eventually, the loss of the kite helps Donkey’s friends realize their selfishness. The book does a good job of sharing the central conflict and resolutions. Children of different age groups could enjoy and learn from "Donkey's Kite." --WRITER'S DIGEST Judge, 27th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards. *****"An excellent fable...laced with humor, charm, and a bit of the Golden Rule.
