My 6 year old grandson easily read through this delightful book with a huge smile on his face. He really enjoyed reading about the main character, Balu and his very interesting relationship with a friend, World. The simple yet colorful illustrations capture your attention and pinpoint exactly Balu's attitude and approach with World. It's a cute story for the young child and adults, too. What a refreshing perspective in weaving the story line of co-existence and arriving at a healthy, peaceful resolution of understanding in getting along on this wonderful planet. ( )
