“We should all be like the Spriitelees” is how one five year old in my class reacted after hearing the story. This is a wonderful book that could be used with children from every race and religion. Kindness is universal and this book gives children the inspiration to spread their little bit of kindness. The colorful and humorous illustrations appeal to a child as they follow the development of the Spriitelee named Bob. Teachers and parents will find this book to be a very useful tool to encourage their own children so that we can “all be like the Spriitelees!”
