The Value of Friendship
Friendship Adventure Review
It’s one of the newest children book that is a “Must Read.”
This book teaches young and old the values of Friendship. Wherever we go, whatever we do, and where we are at different stages of life. Having a friend is a treasure just like knowledge that no one can take away from us. Once we form a Friendship with anyone it’s for a Lifetime - when you invest time, energy, effort, and never ending support wether the situation is good or bad, that’s a True meaning of Friendship.
Everywhere we go, we make Friends. Bruno made friends everywhere he went. Yes, there were challenges along the ways but that didn’t keep him from moving along and having hope that each day brings another Adventure and a Chance to learn something New.
Don’t want to spoil it much more, you have to Read it for yourself, and you’ll be Glad you Did!

Teaches many lessons
I ordered this book for my book loving 8 year old daughter. At first it seemed a bit of a long read for her but she managed to complete the book in about a few days. She loved Bruno’s adventure, meeting new friends but also mentioned he encountered some problems along the way. This book is definitely a keeper and will be passed on to her younger brothers. Highly recommended!

Heartwarming story of friendship
This is a charming story about overcoming fears and challenges. Bruno is a delightful character who finds true friends who support him and accept him just as he is. Bruno demonstrates resilience as he embarks on a great adventure. Along the way Bruno explores the Wookey Hole caves. This is a part of England that is new to me. The author paints a great picture of this part of England. Now I want to try some Wookey Hole cheese! Bruno and his friends demonstrate acceptance, patience, and kindness towards each other! I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet story and look forward to Bruno's next adventure!

Teaches many lessons
This book has a lesson in every sentence for the kids. It talks about friendship perseverance patient how to overcome obstacles how to have positive attitude to be kind and how to talk to yourself so as to continue believing in yourself and follow your goals. It has many positive affirmations that could become the voice in the head of the kids for all the things that they want to achieve. It is fun and easy for the kids to understand and connect with the characters. It is also a good start for many many discussions. It is an example of how life can go i.e that it has the ups and downs but the way you see things makes all the difference. Definitely recommended. Great and pleasant reading.

Awesome book!
This book was fabulously written and very engaging! My daughter’s teacher (and the author:) read it to her fourth grade class and they all loved it! We also ordered it as soon as it came out and read it together. Great lessons about overcoming obstacles and such adorable and lovable characters! Looking forward to the next one for sure!

An exciting adventure of a legend!
The author Carole G. Barton has once again produced a lovely middle-grade book as part of her Bruno’s Friendship Chronicles featuring Bruno the mouse, Lady, and a surprise addition, Honey, the dog. Honey cannot see well but learns things through Bruno and Lady’s eyes. They all go off on an adventure to seek out the powerful Red the Dragon in Llandudno Wales to learn about his ancient story. Red is known to have done some bad things and as Bruno thinks about Red’s tale, he takes pity on him describing him as a boiled egg - “hard on the outside, soft on the inside.” He believes Red is not all evil and goes all out to persuade others to show empathy towards Red. A beautiful story with messages of kindness, support, admitting when you are wrong, helping others, and most of all friendship. I love that the author brings in the learning of syllables and figures of speech into the dialogue and creates her stories around legends and places. Read to see whether Red the Dragon does saves the day or lives up to his bullying reputation and what could be next in this series…

A Masterclass in Storytelling and Growth Mindset Principles
As a fellow author myself, "Red The Dragon" by Carole G. Barton is a gem. Set in the enchanting backdrop of Llandudno, Wales, this book doesn't just entertain—it educates. The journey of Bruno and the layered portrayal of Red offers children vital lessons on empathy, resilience, and understanding. Similarly to Mindset Magic books it teaches kids the principles of Growth Mindset through relatable stories.
Carole cleverly introduces educational elements, ensuring young readers both enjoy and learn. Beyond its delightful plot, this book becomes a tool for instilling core values and promoting personal growth. Every parent seeking enriching content for their child should add this to their collection. A brilliant combination of adventure, lessons, and timeless values. 100% recommended for growth mindset parents!
