Visually adorable but the story itself feels rushed. For a book about facing your fears and finding courage, I’d like to see a bit more depth. It just doesn’t feel like there’s enough here to encourage kids to face their own fears.

I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley

This was such a sweet loving book that both my boys enjoyed and the pictures were awesome

As a mom and a teacher, I think this is a great book! The message is simple- it’s okay to be scared and your family and friends are there to encourage you. The whimsical illustrations are engaging! The simple text is easy to follow and will allow for meaningful conversations at home or in school.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and Quarto Publishing Group through NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Very good picture book for the less brave readers, showing how a little Ploofer can shoof. A shoof, by the way, involves farting multicoloured gas out a hole in the top of your head with enough thrust you can do a headstand on the cloud you're making, on the way to being thoroughly airborne. So yes, not a thing a cute little Ploofer would relish at first. And they do look cute – the adult ones look a bit like a fat slice of grey toast, while the young'un is, well, I won't mention Tribbles in case of trouble. A heartwarming slice of positivity made to look really attractive, this is four and a half stars.
