This humorous tale teaches gratitude and contentment through a relatable story of an old woman learning that less is more. Julia Donaldson cleverly illustrates how changing perspective can shift attitudes from grumbling to thankfulness. The resolution echoes biblical principles such as 1 Thessalonians 5:18, ‘give thanks in all circumstances.’ A fantastic read with lyrical rhyme and expressive artwork that keeps children engaged.
