Don't Fidget a Feather

Great book for early readers, or to read aloud. Illustrations are wonderful. It is very entertaining, but teaches the importance of friendship and that winning is not everything.

A smart thriller for Threes and up

This book is so much fun and such a treasure. It captures the spirit of a child's need for competition, has drama and celebrates the gift of friendship and courage. All this is told in a wonderful language and with delightful illustrations. "Don't fidget a feather" is a Must-Have and a real Keeper.

Guaranteed Good Laugh

My 3-year old loved this book. The pictures are fantastic, and the story of one-upmanship is one that any young child could relate to. This is a clever story with characters that totally draw you in. You'll find yourself telling your child "don't fidget a feather" again and again.

One of the best children's books I'ver read!

My son (age 5) and I love this book!!! It is one of the best children's books we have read. We first got it from our local library, but liked it so much we want to own it ourselves. It's a keeper.

great book that teaches when one really wins

I bought this book for my 5-year old son and a second one for his classroom at day care. I was saddened to see how early in life children become competitive, and tried to express the many complicated topics around competition (that winning is not everything, the value of the experience is most important, you can lose and still have achieved something) and feel that this book meant more to my son than all my hours of explanations. I am grateful to Erica Silverman for writing this thoughtful book that is also very much fun to read and beautifully illustrated. I HIGHLY recommend it to any parent whose child has become sad or frustrated at losing. This book will make them laugh while they learn some important life lessons.
