"Children will feel reassured by the sentiments within this expressive extension of the music, and a sweet daydream of a picture book. " —School Library Journal

"Hold the door, say please, say thank you

Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie

I know you got mountains to climb but

Always stay humble and kind . . ."
