Customer Reviews

Change might be ok with a pair of wings!

I adore this book! The illustrations alone make this book come alive and provide the reader with a visual invitation into the Wing Shop. You can feel yourself flying with Matthew as different pairs of wings take you on all kinds of unexpected adventures. Not only do the illustrations invite you into Matthew's adventure; reading the story is as rewarding!

Superb illustrations support a healthy message about change.

The superb illustrations attract the reader first. Then the story takes over. Reading the pictures turns out to be as rewarding as reading the story over and over again. The story explains moving and change to little ones and is not boring for adults who have to read it several times in a row several days in a row, ........

Great entertainment and imagination

The illustrations make this book come alive and provide the adults with some good belly laughs. You can feel yourself flying with Matthew and yelling "whoa!!!" as different pairs of wings take you on all kinds of unexpected rides. Great fun for everyone
