Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Tiny Thoughts on Perseverance
Agnes de Bezenac · 2013
60/100
👎 Skip It
A clear, inoffensive little character-education book with a simple message that preschoolers can absorb — but it sits below the quality bar of major trade picture books in craft, illustration, and narrative depth. The absence of any trade publication reviews and the modest production quality keep it from being a confident recommendation when stronger options on the same theme are widely available.
