Daniel at a young age has learned the lesson many other children and adults never seem to understand. The author, Yael Aharoni, has always loved to read, and when she had children she read to them, and then she started to write her own books. The books she writes are full of fun and wisdom, lessons to be learned that young children take to heart.Daniel was a peevish little boy. He turned whatever anger or sadness in his heart onto ther people. He yelled at and hurt his friend's feelings, his parents and other beloved relative's feelings. He did not like this attribute, and he went to his father for advice. Daniel's father was a wise man, and he gave his son good advice. You see Daniel really wanted to change his behavior, and that is half the battle. The advice his dad gave Daniel was indeed, good and was very useful.Reading this book with your children, may help them to understand their behavior when they are feeling peevish and irascible. Everyone feels this way at times, and changing behaviors is sometimes difficult but always worthwhile. The author has a special way of writing for children. Her words carry many meanings. The illustrator, Mario, paints vivid, colorful pictures that give us a feeling for the characters in the book. No one wants to lose friends, and now, we understand a little better how to change our ways.Highly Recommended. prisrob 12-07-13
