"Quite a Mountain" makes you believe that you have the full right to go after your dreams, no matter what the rest of the world thinks. An extremely valuable lesson that we should never forget.

Very interesting fable. Although the book said it's A Fable for All Ages, but I found it more suitable for younger audience. The illustrations are cute and nice. I love it!
Thank you Netgalley for this book.

Quite a Mountain is a cute little book with a message worth remembering: Believe in yourself, and you can do whatever you set out to do, no matter what anyone says.

Cute story for overcoming obstacles. The tone is inconsistent at times due to dialogue choices but overall a sweet reminder to keep setting goals and pushing yourself further.
Gavin C, Reviewer
I quite like the message that this book gives to the reader. Do what you want and don't mind what other people thinks.

I absolutely adored this book and plan to re-read it all the time. So inspiring and perfectly edited and composed.

This book is perfect for graduations, friends going through hard times, or a pick me up for yourself. Adorable, funny, and positive. While I might want to just settle down and have a single-serve cup of coffee most days, this bear is for the me that wants to keep climbing.

'Quite a Mountain: A Fable for All Ages' by Jim Benton is a light picture book that packs a good message about persevering to get what you want.
A bear and a frog come to a mountain. The bear wants to see what is at the top of the mountain. The frog isn't so sure. The frog tries to talk the bear out of it, but the bear starts climbing the mountain. As the bear climbs, the bear runs into other creatures with messages. The bear also finds difficulties and tears in the climb, but the bear persists. Where will the bear end up?
It's certainly a picture book with cute illustrations for kids. It's also a clever fable for finding a goal and sticking with it. It is perfect for all ages. I'm going to try to be more like bear and less like frog after reading this story.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
