Editorial Reviews

Review

I have been teaching for 7 years and I have never seen such an amazing response to a book. Students are begging to read it over and over again. I loved the ability to make choices and talk about the outcomes. I loved how sometimes Danny's brother egged him on and we could talk about not having control over someone else and only having control over how you respond. I loved that when Danny asked for a snack he didn't get chocolate and we could talk about "getting what we want" versus "making a good choice." I also love the forgiveness from Danny's parents when he has a bad day and the encouragement to make the next day better. I love this book! --Kirsten Leigh, Elementary Teacher

This book empowers kids to make positive choices while showing them the natural consequences of negative choices. It's a great book for teaching the pillars of character and also a wonderful resource for teaching growth mindset. It's a book that you will use over and over... I highly encourage you to add it to your bookshelves. --
Marida Salinas, Elementary School Counselor

This book is a perfect fit for anyone trying to teach kids about responsibility and about the power of their choices. The kids are able to clearly see how their choices influence the type of day that they have. I highly recommend this book to every parent, teacher, and principal! --

5.0 out of 5 stars An Exciting Way to Teach Social Skills

P.M. · January 4, 2019

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. If you liked my review, please mark it helpful.

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book! Well written! Age appropriate.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars My toddler loves it

I was a bit unsure of this book, since it allows your child to choose “bad” decisions for the character, but the book does a great job at showing negative consequences for those bad decisions, and it has actually helped a lot with my three-year-old during the day, when we remind him that he has the power to choose and that his choices will affect how good his day is.My toddler also loves reading the book and it is literally the only book he has wanted me to read to him since he got it for Christmas. He loves going back through the story and making different choices to get different endings.It’s also a beautifully illustrated and well written book. It’s very relatable for kids (and parents!).

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!

Cute book

My nephew enjoyed this book. We read it together and he picked the options he would choose. He then wanted to reread the book and choose the other options to see what the consequences would be. We were then able to discuss the various choices that can be made in various situations. I recommend this book.

Very interesting kids book

My daughter loved this book. Amazing concept - power of choose. Beautifully crafted.

Dos niños de 5 años encantados

H. · January 6, 2023

Regalo de navidad para dos nietos distinctos y han tenido exito. Tal vez porque ellos controlan la decision del protaganista. La hermana de uno de 3 años esta enganchada a los dibujos y cuando sola pasa las paginas comenta los que esta pasando......claro sin leerlo.

Great book to help little ones understand the consequences of their choices.

My son (3) is obsessed with this book. We read it multiple times a day. Pity we always have Danny's Worst Day 🤣😭 As long as he is having fun, I guess.I do think it is working towards him being more reflective of his behaviour and choices. At the very least it acts a reference for discussion when he is acting out. Great little book.

Bueno!
