I really like the simple artwork that mimicked the childlike tone of the story of a girl rescuing tiny creatures (though sometimes they didn’t want to be rescued, but that wasn’t really explored in the story). The story itself felt disjointed, but I guess that’s the point with a child narrating. The ending with all the spiders seemed extra silly.

What a delightful book! I love the illustrations and the message that all creatures are important in their own way, no matter their size or where they live.

Adorable. Absolutely just heartwarming. Roberta feels deep empathy for the tiniest creatures around her and carries out many a heroic rescue when they get into dire straits. In a moment of classroom crisis (a swarm of baby spiders), Roberta steps up alongside her classmate Maria to coordinate a massive rescue operation.

An ode to those both curious and helpful.

I am excited to try the origami box instructions included in the back.
