REVIEWS
“I have grown children and certainly watched them go through some of the same battles that Mrs. Longears is living through. I found the book to be compassionate and absolutely relatable when it comes to raising little ones, and the pictures are worth a thousand words when it comes to Ralph and his mischief! I can absolutely see sharing this with future grandchildren.
I was also a special education paraprofessional for 10 years, working with kids who ranged from preschool, up to 4th grade. I have sat in on many classrooms while teachers read to their kids, and I truly believe this book should be on all of their shelves.”

“Such a sweet story with a great message for young children. I teach in an inclusive PreK classroom and I love how all of my students were able to relate to Ralph in some way. It helped them understand that when we make choices throughout our daily lives, those choices have consequences. I think this story really hit home with some of my students, when Ralph wasn't kind, no one wanted to play with him, but when he was kind they did. Definitely a wonderful story for anyone looking to touch on social/emotional skills with their students or even with their own children.”

“A very relatable story for siblings. Ralph seems to be looking for attention! Typical behavior sometimes for brothers and sisters! I think most will enjoy his story of mischief!”

“The kiddos and I enjoyed the book very much. I loved the everyday-in-the-life of a child-concept and the kiddos, age 3 to 7, enjoyed it, too. It's also a very relatable story for them to identify with. We all have bad days and get into trouble from time to time and this was a great way to lead into that discussion. We all loved the illustrations.”

“If you like bunnies and have a brother or sister you will like this book. I feel for Ralph- it’s not always easy to behave. I think other kids will relate, too. I can’t wait to share with my friends.”

”A nice family story about being helpful and consequences of our choices and how we can fix the problem.”
