This book has a wonderful lesson for children and adults--rely on your still small voice inside when making decisions. It is indeed a lesson made easy and practical for a child, but the book might be a good gift for adult friends who forget to listen to their intuition. The illustrations are delightful, and the simple story will bubble up a smile and warmth in the "feeler" for the reader of any age. I can't wait for the spin off toys, games and little surfer dude clothes!
