“This is such a sweet book. And it has adorable illustrations! Gentle treatment of the themes of sharing and friendship, courage and forgiveness make this book so easy to read again and again. Who knows, little readers might just be willing to try eating some of the things Crunch loves to eat! At the very least, this book could spark a conversation about yumminess...and how important it is to share,”
