pickI think that it is a great tale to be told to children, or anyone at any age(pub.2013). I liked the whole storyline of the gecko, being one of the smallest animals, being one of the bravest to get the water. I think that it teaches a value-able lesson to be brave.
Aside from that, I enjoyed the illustrations. I would say that they are very simple, but that there are plenty of colors and animals.
“Soon the middle-sized animals all...gave up.“
