"I read this book to my 5-year-old last night as I always tell her a story, and for the first time in a long time, she asked me to read the same book again. She really liked the rhyming and we both enjoyed the story." Amazon Review The Little Mates Children's Book Series is about four children who live in Australia and are aged between 5 and 10 years. Matt and Meg are brother and sister. They are neighbours to Max and Maddi who live with their clever dog Milo. Each story is written in rhyme and features the adventures of the Little Mates as they experience life challenges and issues such as peer pressure, self-esteem, obeying rules, being brave, coping with new situations, and always looking for solutions. The overriding concept is that every action has a consequence, whether good or bad. The stories are written so that readers can identify with similar situations in their own lives, learning from the choices the Little Mates make and gaining understanding from the way they handle difficulties.
