It's better for children that are over the age of 5.  I read it to a class of 4 year olds and it seemed to be too long for most of them.  The book is about several mice that tease Chrysanthemum (the main character) about her name.  Cute pictures.

This is such a cute book and a nice subtle message on being a good friend. My kids love it and we read it often.

This is a cute story with nice illustrations. I bought this for a new baby of a dear friend whose maiden name is Chu, so I obviously like the name of the panda.  This book was also highly rated in a parenting magazine, which is how I heard of it.

So cute. My daughter enjoys reading this book with me. I think it'll be useful too once she gets older to better understand the message.

It's a cute story, and I love the "old fashioned" pictures. This would make a great additon to a child's LIttle Golden Book collection or a gift for a special nurse.

This is a very cute book that would be best for animal lovers four and under.  It's a catchy rhyming story about a dog who gets lost in the snow, with attractive cartoony illustrations.  It's simple and short, but should be popular with younger kids.

A cute and clever story about a young boy who wants a soft, furry pet and ends up with a goldfish. He says he's going to take Norman, the goldfish, back to the pet store, but Norman wins the boy over by making him laugh, listening to him, appreciating the boy's tuba playing, and watching out for him.

The refrain, "Not Norman," meaning the boy doesn't want Norman, turns into his not wanting to give up Norman. A sweet book about learning how to appreciate what you have, and of the joys of goldfish ownership.

It's also nice to see a brown-skinned protagonist in a picture book that's not about "issues" or race, but instead about love of an aquatic pet.

This book is adorable. It is not a counting book, but it has sweet little rhymes and a good point to the story.

As a children's storyteller myself and writer, I liked this book for its simple, cute message. I thought the illustrations were a bit static and had a sameness to them. Still, it's a good book to read aloud to children or for them to read with you.

My toddler enjoys this book for it's rhyming text and bright illustrations. I like that it gets across an important concept (being appreciative of the food we have) with easy to understand text, which includes the actual blessing on the last page. I also appreciate that both men/boys and women/girls are depicted preparing for the meal and serving the food.

I read this to my granddaughter last night.  We both enjoyed the story, which is cute, well-written and has a great message.  The artwork is also fantastic.

This book is very cute and my almost 3 year old likes it too. He's able to relate to it as his parents are recently separated and has even helped him talk a bit more about what's going on.

This isn't a bad little picture book for young children (maybe 7 or younger) who might be dealing with minor bullying or meanness on the part of their classmates.  It helps them to avoid internalizing the mean comments. My only real complaint is the word "snitty" in the title. It's really not a common word, and I think will confuse young children.  The pictures are also REALLY crude, but the message is a good one.

This is a really cute little book about love and how we should be living together.  Children have asked me to read this to them several times and it has a message that I want them to learn and to remember in order to live in a kind, loving world.
