Reviews from Around the World
"A great story to tell young children to show the value of friendship, and could be a nice PSHE lesson, you could start with the story and ask them to list different things they like about their friends, or get them to think about what makes a good friend. Also it could be used for RE/PSHE and discussions about what is meant by luck. I suggest that children in KS1 will really enjoy this book.  I thought it was a beautiful book with simple language that all children could understand, yet the pictures are explanatory enough that children with little English could also enjoy this book." - Charlotte Peters, Goodreads

"This is a wonderful book. The title caught my eye because I have a son that acts just like Melvin a lot of the time. I think it is a great illustration of exaggerated 'finding stuff wrong' and whining, and I read it with two of my sons (9 and 7) when they came home saying they had the worst day ever, and it turned their moods around." - Amber, Goodreads
