About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is eager for independence or needs a boost in collaborative problem solving.

The book is entirely secular and lighthearted. The 'villains' are motivated by greed, but the conflict is resolved safely through wit and cooperation. There is no mention of death or permanent loss.
