"John Dyckman's entrancing creations are likely to be helpful not only to children with common problems and the parents who are concerned about them, but to anyone who enjoys a good story. We all respond to folk tales: Dr. Dyckman has managed the trick of creating yarns which teach and comfort as they entertain. They also have the ability to bridge cultural differences: his account of "the caterpillar who didn't want to change" enchanted audiences when I was recently lecturing in Japan. These stories are not only well crafted, but beautifully delivered....I recommend them most highly!"
