🌿 Publisher's Review:
Have you ever met a kind dinosaur?
Well... I'll grant your wish today in our story.
But beware... something small might happen that makes
the kind dinosaur forever unkind.

🌿My Opinion:
The story is one of allegorical tales... It's about the bad behaviors or words that children acquire from their surrounding environment...
And how these new behaviors and words affect the whole family's life...

Zarif loves to try new things... And one day he bought a new word "Ishme'na... which in colloquial Arabic means 'why not' or in classical Arabic 'why'". Every time someone asked him for something, he would use it... He would compare himself to his brother in everything and use it...

Until his brother started using it too... and his parents... and the house transformed from a house of affection and help to a house full of problems...

Now it's time for a fix... How will Zarif fix the problem he created to become Zarif again... It's not easy at all, especially after he got used to it... He slowly started trying not to use the word with his family and agreed with them not to use it... until gradually the whole family was able to get rid of it...

And the family of affection and help returned, and Zarif became a kind dinosaur again, just like he was...

🌿 Points to note...
Is refusal always wrong? No, not at all, and your child needs to know this... They need to learn to refuse a request from a friend or a stranger they don't know if there's harm...

They need to know when an action is good "for example, an action that shows kindness to parents" and when an action is bad "for example, one child asking another child to scare someone or...".

The story is lovely and opens up a very nice discussion with the child.
