A Dorse Named Sid is a fanciful story portrayed through short rhyming verses, which are both thought-provoking and will ignite the readers imagination. It is a fun book to read and shares a valuable lesson for children: the age-old moral of not judging a book by its cover. The characters are a mix of human and mythical to help explain the moral in an easy to understand manner. A Dorse Named Sid will help children challenge stereotypes and generalisations. The book teaches children that they should decide who their friends are based on how they make them feel, and how they treat them, rather than on how they look, or what they have been told to be true (by others) about them.
