I received this book for my preschool (3-5 year olds) classroom. I don't think it is appropriate for that age level. It's got a solid story, the pictures are nice, but I think the 'meaning' or 'moral' of the story was lost on them without giving too much explanation. Maybe things got lost in translation (it was translated from French.) Better for second or third graders. It would be a good story to read if a classroom is discussing or debating Trump's wall. (The book was published before he was in office though!)
