Reach for this book when your child expresses frustration with their own physical coordination or feels they are failing to meet the 'standard' expectations of their peer group. It is an ideal choice for the child who feels like a square peg in a round hole, particularly those who may struggle with sports or physical tasks but possess a sharp, inventive mind. Snuff is a well meaning but incredibly clumsy page boy who cannot seem to master the traditional skills of knighthood. However, when a group of boot thieves threatens the peace, Snuff uses his wit and creativity to save the day in a way that the stronger knights never could. It is a lighthearted, humorous story that validates the idea that there is more than one way to be successful and brave. This 1970s classic is perfect for ages 4 to 8, offering a gentle reminder that being different is often where our greatest value lies.
