‘[A] clever and original story. It explores the important themes of friendship and belonging, and an understanding of differences. It uses a simple context of fruit to share a social story, and to bring the book to life. The story arouses emotions and provides an opportunity for discussion with young children about their own experiences. The illustrations are simple, modern, and appealing. The book’s play on words and homophones provide a great opportunity to explore figurative language.’
