‘Clumsy Ramsey’ made by Amy Gold is a nice picture book which teaches that we should never refuse to provide assistance to others that need our help.Clumsy Ramsey dreams that one day he can become a knight in shining armor, helping people in trouble. Unfortunately he is very clumsy and all the time everyone laugh at him telling Ramsey that he could never fulfill his dream becoming a knight.During one walk in the desert Ramsey will come across Polly, the lost parrot, to which Ramsey offers to take her to the oasis. Afterwards they will encounter some other characters and Ramsey will offer to all of them his help, too…‘Clumsy Ramsey’ brings a good lesson for the youngest readers, while managing to deliver both well-written text and nicely made digital print illustrations.Hence this Amy Gold’s picture book can be recommended for children 3-6 years old who will be able to understand how important it is to help others in distress, in order to act similarly when they find themselves in such situations.
