I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a no for me. I just didn't like the style or the story.

I thought that this was a lovely little story which focuses on kindness
The story has a good flow to it and I liked the ending as well and how the act of kindness is repaid. It also touches on sibling rivalry too which was good. It is 4 stars from me for this one

A lovely story on how showing a little kindness can be infectious.
It all starts with Basil who is going on a flight with his family. On the tram they see an old lady. Basil gives up his seat and makes a friend.
Lots of examples of how children can make a difference.

This was a cute book with a lovely premise based on sharing. However without any images it is hard to give a full review.

Super cute book about spreading kindness. Both the kids and I loved it!! A simple and easy to understand message!

I’ll be pleased to review this book, I was interested about how it has been written this story for children, and also its cover caught my attention. However, it hasn’t downloaded correctly in my devices. I would like to read it but it is not possible for now. I’m so sorry

Short cute book about spreading kindness. Great for young kids to help them learn that sharing and kindness are contagious. Sweet how little boy shares his bear with crying baby. Others on flight see him spread kindness so they do too.
Super sweet story.

Normally, I wouldn't review an incomplete manuscript like this. But this is what NetGalley is sending out, so it's what I'm going to base my opinion on. If you send me a picture-book e-galley with no illustrations, don't be surprised to lose a few stars.

Flying with Kindness is an ultra-preachy, poorly written story about a child who goes on an airplane, loses his teddy bear, and learns about karma (or something). There are shifts in verb tense, stilted dialogue, unattributed speech, and things that don't make a lot of sense (if the old lady was on their flight to the Grand Canyon, why would she feel the need to exchange contact information with the family so they could send her a postcard?).

The illustrations might be fine, but I have no idea. All I got from NetGalley was a 4-page document with the book's text.

I doubt even the best illustrations could save this one for me, though. The message is not subtle, and the children don't come across as real children (they're more like idealized child characters created to ram a message down readers' throats).

I'm afraid this one is a bit of a miss for me. If you do want to check it out, at least try to get a copy with the illustrations included.

This is a very short story about kindness, but one I know my kids will love, I will read it to them at bedtime.

This is a short, lovely story to use when reinforcing social skills to young children. It can be useful to both teachers and parents; it may open to the door to lively reflection and discussion.

Very cute. As a mobile therapist and behavior specialist I appreciate that it gives different examples of how to be kind, and how kindness can pay off in very unexpected ways!

great concept. Teaches kids ways of being kind and how that kindness effects others around them. This would be a great story time read for preschoolers.
