This book is a great tool to help kiddos understand that they can turn their day around at anytime。 In the same way, they can choose to turn a good day into a rough one。 This book has eight different endings for readers to discover。
Erin,
Big hit with my 7yo on showing how different choices can change the outcome
Elena,
My daughters (6 and 4) love this book!
Deanna,
The kids love this book, just as they loved What Should Danny do? A great book for making choices。 Easy for the kids to pick the choice(s) and see what happens。
Herold Homeschool,
Choose your own ending is fun could be a little less obvious with the choices and not just about behavior but more girl power。

Note: I received a hardcover copy of this book from the publisher。

I really wanted to enjoy this book, but after reading through it, I wish I hadn’t invested the time into it。 I feel like there is enough the characters are not dynamic enough。 For example, although Darla chooses to do something she shouldn't doesn't mean her choices dictate her sister's actions。 Hannah is just as much responsible for her own choices as Darla is。 I felt every time Darla had a bad day it ended with her feeling her sister was mean because of her choices。 Hannah could have easily ch I really wanted to enjoy this book, but after reading through it, I wish I hadn’t invested the time into it。 I feel like there is enough the characters are not dynamic enough。 For example, although Darla chooses to do something she shouldn't doesn't mean her choices dictate her sister's actions。 Hannah is just as much responsible for her own choices as Darla is。 I felt every time Darla had a bad day it ended with her feeling her sister was mean because of her choices。 Hannah could have easily chosen to react to her sister's misbehavior maturely, but instead she stooped down to Darla’s level。 There was really no payoff as they both just fight over and over again and they both end up having bad days。 The message to kids is kinda confusing。 。。。more

I bought this book to read to my niece, but I read it and absolutely love it! Yes, I'm 27 but this little girl Darla is so like me it's uncanny! I love anything that sparkles and everything about space—rockets, shooting stars, galaxies, aurora borealis/australis。。。 you name it! The artwork is so adorable I just want to look at it all the time! I want to hang up each page and just decorate my wall。 But enough of the cuteness, the lessons are second-to-none! I love the way the child gets to choose I bought this book to read to my niece, but I read it and absolutely love it! Yes, I'm 27 but this little girl Darla is so like me it's uncanny!

I love the way the child gets to choose what to do after each scenario given。 Choose a different choice and you'll get a whole new story! Brilliant!!! 。。。more
Melly Smelly,
Wonderful!
Mary,
I often say that books give children the opportunity to practice who they want to be in the world, and today's recommended series gives them not only numerous opportunities to practice, but also a chance to "live" the effects of their choices! These books are picture book versions of those Choose Your Own Adventure books (which I LOVED as a child), and are also perfect for fostering positive character traits in your children。 I'm talking about "The Power to Choose" series by Ganit and Adir Levy!

These books are picture book versions of those Choose Your Own Adventure books (which I LOVED as a child), and are also perfect for fostering positive character traits in your children。 I'm talking about "The Power to Choose" series by Ganit and Adir Levy!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Each book in the "Power to Choose" series features a child who has the power to choose both his actions and how his day turns out。 Every few pages brings the reader to a choice the character has to make, with an option we know will turn out well and an option that the character may not want to make。 Each choice then has logically expected results (for example, when Danny makes a choice to play cooperatively with his brother, their mom decides to take them to the park because they're having such good days, but when he instead knocks his brother's race car set down, the boys have to clean up the mess and miss out on park time)。 And at the end of each story combination, Danny and Darla reflect on how their choices determined the course of their days, and what they did well, and what they could do differently next time。⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀We purchased What Should Danny Do? on our own, and we thank Elon Books for gifting us What Should Darla Do? and What Should Danny Do? School Day, as well as the cape, poster, and stickers。 All thoughts and opinions are our own!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The "Power to Choose" series is fun, educational, and addictive in the best way possible, reminding us all that we have the power to determine our futures rather than live them passively。 You can bet we're going to get our hands on the upcoming What Should Danny Do? On Vacation as soon as possible! Stay tuned tomorrow for a giveaway— 3 lucky winners will each win a Danny book and cape of his/her choice! 。。。more
