Super cute and I've saved this for my little one but it is definitely for an older elementary school kid because there is no way a 5-6 year old would be able to sit still to read this with me.
The content of this book is really cool. It covered many more topics than I expected, being a children's book. I think maybe that genre/age group confused me as to what the book would cover and look like. It seems a lot more for older students than "children." Even the illustrations are slightly more juvenile than I would expect for the content.
But wow, this content is exactly what every educator needs. This book should be in schools. It should be part of the curriculum for students in middle school and high school both. It gives creative solutions to problems. It teaches critical thinking in a simplistic way. It makes problem solving simple and easy to do. And it communicates these thoughts in such a creative way. The book includes games to play--that would be great in a classroom setting. I love the way it explains communication....both verbal and nonverbal communication! It even uses history to explain communication better (i.e. the NIxon vs. Kennedy election). Genius.
I seriously can't wait to start school back and begin going through this book with my students.
