Grumpy Goat

I love the illustrations in this book and it is a great little story for teaching kids about how their attitude affects friendships. Sometimes when you are just starting to make friends in a new place it is easy to assume there is a problem with everyone else, but if you step back and see how you treat them things might change. That is the way that it is for this little grumpy goat once he takes time to put care into protecting and caring for a dandelion and makes friends in the process. It's cute and possibly a good seasonal read, but would really work well any time of the year. I think it is a great introduction to friendships for kiddos.

Thanks to HC for providing an ARC for review.
