Reviews for Helper and Helper

"""I love them. They’re warm, they’re witty."" -- John McIntyre, Radio New Zealand ""This would make a nice read aloud to younger elementary school children. Also recommend to kids who like animal stories like Frog and Toad by Lobel or the Little Bear stories by Minarik."" -- Starred review, Youth Services Book Review ""There are some real ethical dilemmas in this book, for which reason I think it would be really rewarding to read aloud and discuss with children. It would also be great for junior readers starting out with chapter books."" -- The Spinoff ""I love them.

Gavin Bishop’s colour illustrations capture the various moods of the stories.
