NEW Kids Picture Books: Day 7

There, There by Tim Beiser. June 2017. 24 pages.

From Amazon: "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...'"

My thoughts: My 5-year-old has become quite the complainer lately, and it's hard for us to not lose our tempers with her. I loved this book. When I read Rabbit's voice with lots of drama, my kids laugh at how ridiculous his complaining sounds. It's a good life lesson for all of us, as adults are also prone to complaining about life.

Recommended Age: 3-7 years
