Ready for the Day!: A Tale of Teamwork and Toast, and Hardly Any Foot-Dragging (ParentSmart/KidHappy) [Hardcover] Review

Ready for the Day: A Tale of Teamwork and Toast, and Hardly Any Foot-Dragging [Hardcover]So I am skeptical of kids books which teach lessons. I wouldn't want to read books that tell me to eat more veggies and work out every day, so it seems hypocritical to force the kiddo to do so. But this book works on a couple of levels:

- One, the kiddo loves it. There illustrations are fun and colorful and the dialog between dad & daughter creates lots of opportunity for fun voices. He has asked me to read this multiple times a day since we bought it (he is almost 2).

- The book provides some really easily digestible parenting lessons. I am woefully behind on my stack of "parenting toddlers" books and this provided a nice refresher on positive communication techniques.

- Added bonus - I got the grandparents to read this book to the kiddo, thus teaching them about positive communication techniques. This has been an issue I've been tapdancing around with them for months and I loved this book for giving me a way to suggest some alternate ways to talk to the kiddo without having to actually confront the issue!
