This book is great for children learning to read or just beginning to understand concepts like kindness and forgiveness. The story is told from the dog’s perspective, which makes it interesting for young readers.

The illustrations are beautiful and colourful, making it easy to see what’s happening on each page.

This makes it great for bedtime reading, as well as during playtime at home. I would recommend buying this as a gift for any child; they will enjoy reading it together with their parents or grandparents!

I highly recommend this book for anyone who has children or works with children! It has a positive message and teaches kids (and adults!) about kindness and empathy without being preachy or heavy-handed.

The only negative of this book is that some might find the lessons a bit religious.

This is a delightful book for children with colourful illustrations. The Greedy Dog is an adaptation of the classic fable and will be enjoyed by parents and children alike.
