Reviews

"This is a cute story about Lilly and how she cares for her brother. It involves problem solving, responsibility, and love. It is a relatively easy read, not too long for a reluctant reader but involved enough to keep interest. I would recommend this as a good early reader book."
Sandra Knabe, Teacher
"this early chapter book fills the requisite for young readers moving from picture books to novels. The 49 pages have plenty of white space, the chapters are short with full page black and white drawings for every chapter, and a simple plot line will help young readers with the transition."
Louise Sidley, Resource Links
"I was really pleased to read this pleasant little book. There was a charming relationship described here by Brenda Bellingham. She captured a very nice relationship between Lilly and Mac through the play time and help they provided one another." Highly Recommended 4/4 stars
John Dryden, CM: Canadian Review of Materials
