CIP info Nikolai asks his animal friends to help him answer three important questions: When is the best time to do things? who is the important one? and What is the right thing to do?

This is a must own. This clearly isn’t your average or traditional children’s picture book. This book is based on Tolstoy’s short story, Three Questions. The author wanted to share this story with a younger audience. He does it well. I haven’t read Tolstoy’s version, but it is now on my famous to read list. The watercolors add a extra warmth to this story. It is the highest book on my “must own” list. This is a fabulous story explaining our connectivity to all things. I want to share this with everyone. I love this book.
