“This book (Chug and Thug Ride Trike) is exactly what we needed to help our little one! She easily grasped the concept of being brave enough to speak up and be herself. As a teacher, I plan to use this in my classroom as well, to help my students understand how to overcome peer pressure. The illustrations were great and the writing was easy to follow and understand. Our family loves the other books by this author as well.”
