Book Review: The Giggle Getter!
Summary: 4 Stars
Every day we deal with fairness and unfairness, how those situations span out is determined on our attitude. Regardless of the matter, our attitudes are seen by many around us, including children. They mock and want to follow certain attitudes that they see from people around them. Right and wrong mentalities are picked up from the young minds and their mind sets change within the situation and may become either negative or positive.
Fairness is often determined on what we have compared to what someone else has. In this book, It's Not Fair, fairness is shown through problems that could be solved and things that happen in life that are unsolvable. The cookie being split is an easy fix but the pigs having wings is physically incapable. It is based on small children so it appeals to younger ages. It also shows that everyone in the book gets something fair and unfair, not everyone gets one or the other.
As a sister and future teacher, I bought this book because of the title. Now that I know the content of the book, I'm please with my purchase and would not trade or give ti away. I will definitely keep this book around my classroom and family for a long time considering the theme and message behind it.
Every night my little brother loves to read and for the past week and a half he has chose to read It's Not Fair. He gets a giggle and a, "Yeah, that's not fair at all," every couple pages! This book is really a relating type of book for kids. Parents, teachers, and siblings would enjoy a read like this. Something you can talk about, mention, or refer to with a child. Also, another plus that the book has is the rhyming scheme. It puts that extra mile on the work of the book and the interest in children. Kids are attracted to books that rhyme so this book is able to appeal to them in that sense too.
It's short, sweet, easy, and positive and I would definitely recommend this book to teachers and parents anywhere and everywhere. It is an easy attitude picker-upper and can really turn a frown upside down. I am a firm believer in laughter and how laughter can be a stress reliever and this book can help some kids with day to day fairness issues and really get them interested in a book maybe even more interested in reading!
Summary of It's Not Fair!
Why'd I get the smaller half? Why don't you yell at her? Why does my team always lose? Why can't we have a pet giraffe? Because that's life.
And life can't always go the way we want it to. But with this delightful and witty book, Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld reassure us that everyone, including pigs, planets, and square pegs, sometimes thinks: It's not fair!
