I’ve received a
KINDLE Edition from the author through her giveaway on LibraryThing.com and the
following is my honest opinion.
As anyone who has
had children knows can tell you; trying to communicate to them regarding
certain things at their age is at times quite an arduous task, especially when
it comes to their being disappointed or discourage. The author, Orly Katz,
using her knowledge has done a marvelous in accomplishing precisely that by not
trying to hit the child reading this book over the head about not being
discouraged or disappointed when something doesn’t go the way you had wanted it
to be. More important she hasn’t spoken down to the child either; which would
have turned the child off to about what is being said. Instead Ms. Katz has
made sure her book speaks to the child at their level, making it easy for them
to relate to what they’re reading.
Credit for the
success of this book must be given to the book’s translator, who did a
marvelous job in keeping her translation to the intent of the book’s original
language which had been made harder due to the rhyming element of the book. When
you have a rhyming for a book’s the story aids in grabbing and keeping the
child’s attention for the book, from the beginning to the end. If you have any
doubts regarding this, just think of the Dr. Seuss you read as a child, I know
I have.
For helping
children in not being disappointed or getting discouraged, this book is getting
5 STARS.
