Our friend Sidney loves to play games. His imagination brings the edge of the forest alive in this fun-loving story. Join his adventure where everyone is included, the furry, feathered, prickly, and even the hard-shelled critters. Sidney's Games is encouraging to young children and presents a kind, inclusive world of play. It's a joyous tale, adorably illustrated, of new woodland friends. We all, regardless of our age, want to join in and be accepted by others. Sidney's Games shows us the small forest animals welcoming new friends into their playgroup, just as the young reader could do in the playground the next day. Chris Campbell
Sidney's Games
is a delightful children's book for young readers, especially those just starting to navigate friendships. It's perfect for kids who love animals, imaginative play, and sweet, feel-good stories. Parents and teachers will also appreciate the gentle lesson on kindness and inclusion. If you're looking for a book that encourages kids to reach out, make new friends, and embrace a little adventure, this one is a winner.
The illustrations by Patrizia Donaera are another highlight. The animals are adorable and full of expression, and the forest setting feels warm and inviting. The gentle colors and details make the whole book feel like a cozy and welcoming space. One of my favorite images was when the group of new friends gathered in the leaves at the end. It really captured the warmth of the story.
