Review Quotes

For a short book (40 pages) with quite large print, this story manages to pack in a great deal of realistic sensitivity to David's problem and how it impacts not only on him but on the whole family. While there is a happy ending, it is clear that David has more work to do before his nights are completely dry. Very well written and excellent option for children who wet the bed.--Healthy Books
