The best part of some children's books, is not always what is written, but the discussion that ensue.
This a fun story and very well written. It opens the door for conversations about friendship and decisions while enabling children to identify emotions. The Adventures of Joshua and Pip works well as a stand alone book for children to read themselves, or as a gateway for conversations. The content, coupled with beautiful illustrations, make it an essential addition to any classroom or children's home library.

We love Joshua and Pip adventures! Full disclosure, the author is our local librarian and we already loved him too! :)
I ordered both books as a surprise for my kids (6,8) and they loved reading (and rereading…!) them. We brought them on a recent vacation with a long drive and these were the books they wanted in the car with them.
