"This little book is a wonderful way to help children understand and recognise their feelings and emotions, and brings to life the importance of empathy," Kate Middleton said about this book in a statement.

Recommending this book, Kate said in a statement, "Fun stories for children of all ages and a great book for older children to read to younger siblings. These books are filled with captivating and beautiful illustrations to accompany the text so there's lots to talk about."

"An all time classic and loved in our house for obvious reasons," Kate said about the book! Her statement further read, "This is a charming story about friendship, loyalty and love."

"As a child I loved spending time outdoors, making dens, digging, discovering and making things out of odds and ends. Whether this was why my father recommended this book to me or whether this book innspired my imagination, I can't remember, but I have never forgotten this brilliant book and the values it teaches," Kate said recommending this book.

"I loved reading this book as a little girl and listening to my own children reading it has brought back so many wonderful memories. A comforting story to help children face their fears and grow in confidence with the help of others," Kate's statement read in a video posted on the Reading Room's page.
