Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was so disappointed with this book. I loved the first book in the series, I Can Handle It, and expected a positive message in this book. The book is a series of events in a child's day....and the little girl knows that she matters because other people are happy with her behavior and smile at her. So the message is that the only time you matter is when you put the needs of someone else above your own and make them happy. I was looking to affirm a child who struggles with feeling OK because he has a different way of looking at the world than his age mates and who struggles with regulating his super sensitive emotions. Teaching him to be a people-pleaser in order to "matter" is just not a good message for him. In my opinion, it is not a good message for any child.
