This was a really sweet little book.

The book was really well written to get the points over by the author, who is a mental health nurse specialist.

The book teaches children to love who they are, to respect others, your friends and family and most of all, to be kind to yourself and others too.

The illustrations work well with the story.

It is 4 stars from me for this one - highly recommended.

Want encourage your child to be kind to others? Well follow Kiki as she starts off her week by being unkind to those around her. She tries all kinds of ways to spoil everybody else is fun. She even eats beans to toot and scare away the boys. She would laugh at kids and hide their toys. No one wanted to play with her because of the unkind things she did. Then a little squirrel decides to step in and teach her about being kind. This is the turning Point in Kiki‘s week, she finally learned to be kind and leaves all her troubles behind.

There’s also a page that shares several different examples of what children can do to show acts of kindness. The graphics are colorful and simple, not to busy, enough to keep a child’s attention. There’s also a place on the last page of the book where you can help your child to think of and write down more acts of kindness that they can do.

Cheeky Kiki Learns to be Kind was a super cute and helpful read that I enjoyed sharing with my niece and nephew. I loved the lessons taught by the squirrel. I always feel including animals in children's books helps kids get more excited about the story.
This book also encourages kids to engage with the story by adding their own ideas on how to be kind.
This was an all around good story with adorable illustrations that I think all children can enjoy.

I found the book to be delightful as it echoed the not-so-kind behaviors of Kiki, similar to the "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed" series. It held my 6-year-old's interest, and we appreciated Kiki's opportunity for self-improvement. The concise storytelling was a plus.

Although the illustrations and font weren’t my favorite, my four year old got a giggle or two out of this and I loved the examples shown at the end about how to be kind. Sometimes with littles I think it can be tricky to explain being kind or rude without practical examples, and I thought the ones provided in the story were age appropriate and easy to understand.

A sweet picture book for children that gently teaches about kindness. With engaging pictures and words that rhyme with, Cheeky Kiki learns that being unkind comes with consequences.
The delightful story starts out on a Monday with Twiggy the squirrel observing KiKis laughter and taunts towards the other children… as it progresses,by Friday,Kiki no longer has any friends to play with.. And that just won’t do! So Twiggy steps in to show Kiki that can leave her troubles behind,if only she is kind.
Perfect for younger school age children,this engaging book will help both parents and educators alike in teaching compassion.

A very cute and quirky book with a very good lesson! First, many thanks to Kim Burns, the author, and BooksGoSocial, the publisher, and NetGalley for the privilege of being able to read and review this picture book. I will share my review to Goodreads, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble upon release.

This book focuses on a little girl named Kiki who struggles to get along with others, but learns how to do nice things like hold the door open for others. At the end, there's a nice little list of acts of kindness that can be completed by young children in order to practice being kind. There's also space for writing your own list of things that you can do to be kind. I think it's a great idea to help children practice kindness both emotionally and behaviorally!

The cover is good, the illustrations are nice, and the colors are pretty. They aren't too complicated, perfect for a younger child audience (ages 3-5). I think kids of that age will enjoy the humor and rhyming style of this book!

The title of the book is exactly what this book is about. We meet Kiki, who isn't currently making very good choices and is not kind to others. She learns that making bad choices can lead to consequences, including being left out of activities, and how it's important to be kind to others. The artwork is very cute! There are some example acts of kindness at the end and a place to add more.

Thanks to the author, BooksGoSocial, and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
