Reviews
" The parable of charity, freedom from prejudice, and the fine art of self- utterance is therefore appropriate for children hearted and halfway funny. Even tricky issues such as alcoholism are worked here sensitively. This is pedagogically despite some lengths to look nice without a doubt valuable, and for children. Adults could do-gooder from Mallet, however, get a slight headache. "
