There, There by Tim Beiser and Bill Slavin

Let’s start with the book summary:

For fans of Penguin Problems and A Birthday for Bear, the story of a whiny rabbit pushing a patient bear to the end of his tether and learning a lesson in looking on the bright side.

Do you ever feel like everything is terrible? Like nothing is ever right and you just want to hide under your pillow? Well Rabbit does, and he's not shy about sharing it. He whines, he complains, he moans, he grumps... until Bear has had enough and decides it's time for Rabbit to learn to appreciate what he has. Using nothing but the lowly common earthworm as an example, he teaches Rabbit a lesson about taking things for granted. Something the worm knows all about...

Written in charming verse and featuring a delightfully domestic bear and a very surly rabbit, There, There is a fantastic tongue-in-cheek riff on the idea that "it could be worse..."

And now, my review:

Ever have a bad attitude where life seems like it’s always down…  that’s the attitude of the “there, there”.  This book addresses this attitude and paints a picture of another way to process your thoughts.  The pictures are cute and the words flow well.  My children thought the worm was the funniest :) If you’re looking for a cute read for your little ones, this might just be the one. 

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

The King of Kindness by Terrica Joseph, Paula S. Wallace

Let’s start with the book summary:

Timmy loves to play games against his friends, especially checkers. He comes up with new moves all the time, and he never loses! But will Timmy's competitive nature come between him and his best friend?

Now for my review:

We loved the detail that was captured in this delightful children’s book.  The drawings on each page were loveable.  It sparked some great conversations, as a family, on what KINDNESS looks like.  If you’re looking for character conversation starters among you and your children, I recommend you check this one out.
