Review:
A wonderful story about Molly and Max. Molly loves butterflies and wants to catch them to wear in her hair but Max advises her that butterflies would rather be free and Molly must decide what she will do. A petulant Molly at one point in the story is heard to say 'Why not? I want to!' in a tone that anyone with a tantruming toddler/preschooler will recognise. A lovely tale about the right thing to do which may not always gel with what your initial impulse might be. A family favourite here.
4.5/5
