Review: Children's nonfiction that focuses on an objective, or moral. The focus is learning about gratitude and understanding other people and how they feel.



In one section, the student becomes nervous from climbing and she notices that her classmate Camille is nervous, too. She recognizes the emotion in someone else and works to comfort her classmate. In another part, Moseah asks about what grateful means and someone defines it directly -- so there is no guessing games a s to what the objective is of this book.



It's colorful and kid-focused students would enjoy listening to this or looking at the pictures.

The very first page of this book says that Kiko can “grow Grateful, too.” But why is it too? The reader hasn’t been shown another character, let alone another character who is grateful. Then the story meanders around a camping trip until the night time when the teacher asks students for what they are grateful? Then the book actually starts explaining grateful by saying “being grateful is feeling gratitude”, yes they explain gratitude, but it’s such a roll your eye moment as an adult reader. Then the readers note and “how to use this book” at the end just exasperated the eye roll. This book was not for me. It left the message for the end rather than starting with the message and reiterating it in the further pages. I don’t think this works that well, and I will not be purchasing it for my library.
