Review: Elena Rides

 

Elena is trying to ride her bike, but she keeps falling.

This I Can Read book has a wonderful message about trying your best, picking yourself up, and trying again. Things are hard in life and we fail. It's important that kids see failure and our reaction to it. This is a great book to share. 

Library Recommendation: A must have book for your school and public library collection. 

Review: Famous Fails

Failures come in all sizes from large to simple mistakes. Some failures result in something completely different and yet wonderful at the same time. Some require fixing and some are simply learning tools. 

My Thoughts: In order to succeed in life, there are going to be failures - lots of failures. Failures are a requirement in life. But failing can also be devastating and it's important to realize everyone fails. So I really enjoyed this book because not only because it highlighted failures (both famous and not so famous) but because it also played around with failure (upside down pages) to create a fun but effective message. 

Cover Thoughts: Fun

Final Thoughts: Perfect for public and school libraries.
