A perfect choice for an enthusiastic newly independent reader or a child that has learnt the mechanics of how to read but rarely reads for pleasure.

He knows some sign language because his older sister is deaf and this becomes a positive influence on the story. The book promotes deaf awareness, but in a very natural way.
