Princess Sophia and the Frog eBook Review

Princess Sophia and the Frog
Princess Sophia and the Frog is a wonderful fairy tale about friendship and happiness. The little princess, Sophia, has everything a little princess could wish for; a big castle with many things inside. But, she is bored and wants to fly to the moon. One day a little frog comes by and helps her fly high up into the sky. They come to land on different planets, where Sophia learns about feelings. She also learns that she can choose what mood she surrounds herself with, as this will impact her own. After returning to the castle she realizes that all she needs to be happy is to be surrounded by good friends.

What more could a princess possibly want or need? Other than a good friend to help show her that happiness is key? 

Since having read this book my 9 year old daughter and I discuss our feelings on a daily basis, well, when she's home. It's also important for children to have someone understanding that they can talk to about what they are or did feel through out the day. In addition to saying what they feel, is having them explain why they felt that way as well as how they could help make themselves feel happier. Give ideas and examples. 

My boys are five and three and they are not quite like girls, but it's also a good thing to discuss these things with them as well. 

All three of my children greatly enjoy this book. They like the different travels that Princess Sophia and the Frog go on. With the boys it more so strikes up conversations about where they'd like to travel and why. Some of the things they come up with are pretty cute. 

Purchase this Book.

Hugo The Secret To Happiness eBook Review

Hugo The Happy Starfish - The Secret To Happiness eBook is a very cute and fun read about a little starfish named Hugo who finds his life dull. He is tired of feeling sad so one day he sets off to find happiness. After searching for a while he discovers something that makes his heart do somersaults. Sharing with others is the only thing that makes Hugo truly happy and all other things just made him feel better for a little while.

This is a great book as us adults, whether parents, grandparents or caregivers of another nature all strive to help teach children the benefits of sharing within our communities. This eBook helps to encourage children to give, which helps to teach them about empathy as well as a sense of social responsibility. Some children can even feel empowered by sharing and giving to others.

My children are great at sharing and my daughter is a little too giving in my opinion. She will give her friends things of her own even if she really likes the item(s). We always have to watch her closely in the mornings before she heads off to the bus stop other wise when she returns home, something that she took with will probably no longer be in possession. While I love the fact that my children are sharing and giving to others, they still need to hold onto their things as well. This book about Hugo The Happy Star Fish and his experience with sharing and the explanation of his feelings while giving and sharing seemed to help open a new door for Jedilynn. She began talking out about her own feelings and such when she gives and shares with other, whether they are friends at school or her brothers. It was a nice way to have a discussion about the way she feels about this. I personally believe all children should discuss their feelings about any and all of their actions and I love that this book helped us to discuss this topic. 

All three of the kids love this book, however since Jedilynn is 7 and the boys and toddlers, she understood it better. Cade, who is 3.5 years old did mention a few different ways he recently shared something with his baby brother. I was quite impressed that he was able to understand and respond with a relevant event to the story we were reading. 

This book is available in SEVEN different languages! How fun is that!
