I'm Just a Little Someone

This is a wonderful book that shows kids how to make a friend. A girl doll who is sitting on the shelf has no friends but finds a little boy doll on another shelf and does something that is obvious to adults, but difficult for a shy or developmentally delayed child. The illustrations are clean and colorful and at the end of the book are questions and activities to do with a child or a classroom full of children.

Such a lovely book for young children! I read this to my nearly 3 yr old grandson, who wanted me to read it to him again and again. He is unable to speak at the moment and uses sign language, so I didn't go through the questions at the back. A wonderful story, with a great message! I must admit that as someone who has always loved dolls and used to collect them, this was a very easy choice for me to read to my grandson. I highly recommend.

My thanks to Netgalley and this is my honest review.

A must book to buy for toddlers simple language that is repeated with questions to help pupils communicate among themselves after reading it suitable for home schooling and school use.

I'm Just a Little Someone speaks on loneliness and seeking a friend. One doll sits upon the shelf seeking someone to play with her. After a little sadness, she looks across the room and sees another doll seeking the same. With so much in common, they discover a friendship that brings them joy and wonder. Their happiness becomes infectious and they found another friend in need of joy. I recommend this story for early childhood to first grade students, figuring out their desire for friendship in school and at home. It's easily readable for those learning to read with clear and colorful pictures. Also, by the story's end, a list of doable activities provides the reader and their caregiver hours of after-book fun.

I enjoyed the book and loved that the toys on the shelves were able to get together and to be friends. Everyone needs friends even toys! A great book!

Stunning artwork.
This is a beautifully illustrated book about loneliness and the difference it makes when you have a friend to share things with. The Little Someone of the title is sad rag-doll, until she spots a sad boy-doll on the other side of the toy shop. Once they meet and become friends they are both much happier. And when a toy dog joins them, their happiness is complete.

A very simple story with a moral about friendship, suitable for young children from about 3 to 6 years. It is available on Kindle, which is a plus, as it enables entertaining youngsters away from home without resorting to games or videos on the Ipad.

This book has rhyming text, which I enjoy in children's books, but I need the words to flow to a precise pattern and in places this fails to do that - hence the dropped star.

There are nineteen activities at the end of the book, from counting and naming colours, to drawing faces to express feelings.

A cute and fun little book with brilliant colors and illustration, which your child will surely enjoy and have fun with.this little book tells about a lonely doll who was very sad because of her situation, but she met someone as lonely as herself and together they were no longer sad and lonely then another new friend was in the midst and loneliness became a thing of the past. A truly inspiring and fun book.

This was a fun story about wanting and needing to be with others that are like you.

I nice thought-provoking story for 3-8 year olds which centres around a little doll on a toy shelf, who wishes she had some friends. Gradually you see her find two companions and they become 'the best of friends'. It's a nice simple tale of how children can make friends, and has a nice happy ending. The illustrations are lovely and bold, and the sans-serif typeface used is very child-friendly. There are activities at the end of the book which helpfully extends the learning.
