Review # 1 was written on 2020-12-12 00:00:00 Shirlene Patton I read this book to my girls. It begins with domestic abuse, which is quite an opener for kids, but opens opportunity for discussion and education. Uncle Ronald is a delightful character, and the book ends in an explosive way that satisfies the kids. Well written and a delight to read out loud.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-10-03 00:00:00 Sandra Dremina This is a beautifully written short story and a wonderful contribution to Canadian literature for children. The narrative flows smoothly, telling a story that is both comical and poignant throughout. This story tenderly examines the difficult subject of physical abuse without feeling too heavy or overbearing. In only a few pages I formed an attachment to the characters, even Lance the horse, and was sad to have the story end so soon. It is easy to see why this is an award winning book, and I will be on the lookout for more of Doyle's work in the future.
