I bought this for my grandson’s 5th birthday. He loves the book and his parents say they can see that he is making better choices because he understands he can choose. They bought the second book and we read through it this evening. I wish there were more! This books teaches children so many things!
Adorable book. I love that my son can change the outcome by selecting different options. But.. Pretty easy reading for a 7-year-old.
My 4 year old grandson loved this gift! It helps to teach the truth the power of choice.
This is an excellent book to teach children that they have the power to choose, and that those choices can impact themselves and others. My students also enjoyed being able to choose how the story would end. This book was used for students between the ages of 7-9.
These books open a child to think about the consequences of behaviour in a fun and creative way, enabling conversations between reader and child to flourish. My grandchildren loved this book!
This is such an amazing book. It teaches children the power of choosing. It shows how they are accountable for their actions and teaches them think before they act. We are all in control of the outcome of our choices and our behavior. This is such a great thing to teach early on. One of my favorite books for my child. The author is brilliant!
I love the way you can change choices throughout the book. My granddaughters like it too. I plan to read one of the stories to them whenever they come over. It’s fun and keeps their attention!
I remember reading and enjoying "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories as a kid. While those were fun fantasy stories, I love that this book focuses on situations that young children can relate to and helps them to see the consequences of different choices. The book attempts to show the benefits of sharing, taking turns, being kind and following household rules and treating parents with respect. Some of the choices include: Eat off a non-preferred plate or yell about not getting the plate you want, Wait to play with a game or grab it away, Knock down a toy or try to get along, Eat a treat quickly or share with a sibling that dropped theirs, Ask Mom for a snack or sneak chocolate, Tell somebody that they aren't being nice or stomp their foot, Yell at Mom about not having new shoes or compliment brother's new shoes, Help a girl who fell or yell at her for accidentally spilling your lemonade, Refuse to get ready in protest or get ready to go to the park, Clean up or refuse to clean up, and push sibling or play together. My four-year-old son really enjoys this book. There are clearcut good and bad choices, and he is easily able to identify the good choices. However, these same choices can be difficult for young children to make in the moment. He likes making different choices to see what happens, and the story offers a lot of opportunity for discussion. I ask my son if he thinks he is making a good or bad decision, and we talk about the outcome of the different social situations. Maybe because he's a bit younger, my son's favorite story involves getting ice cream at park and playing soccer rather than making all good choices and having a lemonade stand and earning money for a skateboard. But, I think that the story offers a realistic perspective in that some minor bad behavior at this age can be expected and doesn't have to ruin your day if you make better decisions, but when you let a bad decision lead to more bad decisions, there will be more consequences. In my opinion, the book is worth the price, but I do hope they come out with a less expensive and a bit smaller paperback version eventually. The story format is a lot of fun for kids, and the illustrations are beautiful and really detailed. Update: I purchased a copy for my son's preschool, and the teacher loved it. My son's first grade teacher also read Danny stories to his virtual class, and they seemed to be a hit. I think these books are great teaching tools. My son still likes this book at 7 years old and also enjoys "What Should Danny Do?: School Day" and "What Should Danny Do?: On Vacation." My son ripped a page when he first got the book, because he was excited with the page turning. But I have to say that overall this book has hed up very well, and the binding is still secure. I added some photos to show how the navigation in the book works. It is pretty easy to follow, but page 20 has three different pages to go back to which may be a bit confusing. Page 68 is the last page of the book and directs to page 20 without needing to make a choice. When you make a good choice on page 33, you are directed to page 68 and then to 20. So to arrive at a different ending, you would make a bad choice on page 33. The other pages listed to go back to have choices that go directly to page 20. Thanks for reading.
