Ratings and reviews

This is the best book I enjoyed as a kid and now I get to read it to my son. It's the core of our lives, you only get out what you put in ; helping = being helped. Simple

Teaching children to ask for help, but teaching them to not feel bad of enjoying the wonderful reward of their hard work and to learn when it's okay to not share and say no. Awesome book.

I was exspecting a bit more. My girls got board with it fast. But it has a good moral to it.

About the author

J.P. MILLER (1913-2001) illustrated many Golden Book titles from the 1940s through the 1970s, some written by Margaret Wise Brown and Edith Kunhardt. Before becoming a children's book illustrator, Miller had worked in the Walt Disney Studio's elite Character Modeling Department, creating characters (such as the dwarf Dopey) for Disney's first feature film, Snow White. He later designed the character of the toy maker Geppetto for Pinocchio.
