  • “What a beautiful and well-illustrated story to encourage children to follow their dreams no matter how hard or far off they seem. A great way to instill in children the value of study, hard work and sticking to the tasks at hand to get you where you would like to go. Such habits and characters will lead to success. A great entertaining and motivational story for children and parents alike. Written in rhyme was also a good effect. Highly recommended.”

  • “What a great book with a great lesson.
    We are each unique and have a special jobs and gifts.
    Just like an eye can not be an ear, I can not do someone else’s job created specifically for them.
    We all work together better if we each do the job we were created to do.
    Thank you Howie
    And super illustrating Olya!”

  • “Adorable animals mutually involved in a project to save something they love. This little book, with its excellently written rhymes, sends such a nice message about the benefits of sharing an important goal, making a plan on how to achieve it, and then distributing responsibility in order to get the job done, And this is communicated in such a simple, articulate, and caring way by the author, that children will easily understand and relate to it.”

  • “Howie Groff’s ‘Bennie, the Tired Tire’ is a quick and easy read, appropriate for its target audience. It teaches the moral that everyone has their part to play, and that no one is less valuable than another. Olya Bond’s illustrations are delightful and capture the spirit of the story wonderfully.!”
