Review

 

This story about Gwen could be a great teacher to young children to be thankful for what they have instead of what they don’t.

Gwen has a lunch that doesn’t thrill her but at least she has a lunch because some children do not. She throws a tantrum when she doesn’t get a toy, her jacket isn’t washed, and her mom won’t help her with all of her math homework. Let’s just say Gwen needs an attitude adjustment. But by the end of the book, she realizes that she is wrong and maybe she should be thankful for what she does have in her life.

I enjoyed the lessons that Gwen was being taught and the illustrations defined the scene quite well. The pages are colorful and will hold a child’s attention.

We give this book 5 paws up.
