My Review

5☆ A Very Sweet Book about Friendships and Looking after each other.

Fiona Helps a Friend is a story all about working together to cheer a friend up when they become sad.

Fiona and all her friends at the Zoo haven't heard Matilda the Kookaburra laugh all day and they start to become concerned.

So they decide that the best thing is to try and cheer up Matilda by making her laugh. But unfortunately Matilda is just too sad. They try so hard, making funny faces, doing there best moves but nothing works.

Then something happens and they discover a box of lost and found!
Could this be the answer, and the way to cheer Matilda up?
I guess you will have to read it, to find out...but be warned it will give you the giggles!

I loved this sweet book. The illustrations are superb and really bring the story to life. Especially seeing some of the zoo animals antics.
It will definitely get children giggling out loud!
I loved the message behind the story.... to look after each other, be kind, work together, and it's ok to feel sad sometimes.
What better way to get the message across, than with the most adorable animals, that are cheeky, kind and full of love.
