Customer Reviews

A great children's book for all young readers!
Our son and daughter's favorite story to read again and again is Flying Free. The colorful illustrations add even more fun to the suspenseful story line. Reading about diverse families is important for all children, and therefore any family can benefit from this cute children's book. A staple gift for young children, their libraries and classrooms!

would buy for $1
Cute story but incredibly cheaply made book. Small, thin cover and pages held together by a couple staples. The print was crooked and runs off the side. Definitely not worth $17.00!!

Wonderful! Our daughter LOVES this story!
Finally, a sweet story with a beautiful family. We absolutely loved this story. Our daughter has renamed the parents, so when we read the story we have to replace the little girl's moms' names with ours. To the writer, please, please, please write more sweet stories. Unfortunately, for the lizards, beetles and butterflies in our backyard, she has a new found delight in bringing new friends into our home.
