Author Julia Cook, has an incredible gift of writing books for children! Her books teach important life skills, and are written through the child's view of the world. As an Elementary School Counselor I have incorporated many of Julia's books into my curriculum and must say DROP has been a hit with all my students k-5, parents, and staff!!! DROP is an interactive book that teaches and shows children that when they believe in themselves & try new things... The result is feeling really proud inside and growing into a more interesting person!
My four year old is busy developing his new found self-esteem. We bought this book because it has a valuable lesson. It is fun and well illustrated. We like reading it together and I like that it tells him the same thing that I have already been telling him when I try to encourage him to do new things.
This story is perfect for all ages! I read it to my 2nd graders throughout the year with no complaints("You read that already!"). My coworkers have borrowed it to read to their own high school graduates. My favorite Julia Cook book yet!
I really enjoy this book and the message that it sends to adults and children. With its lyrical movement of words gives the book a fun approach to trying new things, accepting changes, the positive attributes each person has to bring to others, and the emotions one might feel with the unknown and change. Great message and easy to read! Must book for anyone who struggles with stepping out into the unknown!
This is a fun book to give graduates of any age. Although it's written for children it makes the point for teens and college students.
I use this book during classroom presentations to my kindergarten students and during small group. I can use this book to talk about adjustment to school, motivation and self-confidence. I am a school social worker.
Great for those who are: Elementary/Kinder teachers, school psychologists, special education teachers, Resource teachers, therapists, psychologists, community mental health agencies, those who work with Autistic/Asperghers and other social awkward disabilities.
Great book that I bought for my grandson as he starts kindergarten in the fall. I'm also reordering for my high school grads.
