My son and I were lucky to receive a complimentary copy of the fabulous book What Would Danny Do? We both absolutely LOVED it, so I knew I had to share it with you all.
This book is unlike any other children’s book. It is a “choose your own path” story.
The story follows a day in the life of a young boy named Danny. Throughout Danny’s day he is faced with various choices he can make regarding his behavior.
In each situation it is very clear which choice is the “better” choice, but I love how all the choices are realistic. It is easy to imagine a child making either of the choices presented, which is great for conversation starters on how our feelings often impact our choices.
There are NINE different endings to this book. NINE! Not only did my son love reading about Danny, but he enjoyed challenging himself to find the nine different endings. It required him using critical thinking skills because he had to remember the different choices he had used and try to figure out different combinations to get to the various endings.
The book is easy to follow. It is very clear where the choices are and when the story ends.
At the end of each story Danny realizes that he has the power to choose how his day is. I love this message for kids! Many kids experience big feelings and it’s so important they realize they have the “power to choose” how they react to these feelings.
I haven’t taken this book to school yet, but I already know my students are going to absolutely love it. Not only is it a fun book to read, but the message is exceptional.
