I liked it because even though you’re not the best dressed you can still be the kindest. The lesson is it doesn’t matter what you wear as long as you are kind.

My favourite bit is when the giant gives the mouse his shoe as a new house. It teaches me to have great fun, be kind and makes me really happy.
