Bite-size reviews
- It's OK to need help sometimes! This book encourages children with its sweet examples of small challenges children can do all by themselves now as part of larger tasks that they may need help with, and why needing help is OK. The freebies and extras that come with the book, such as the printable Certificate of Achievement, will have your child setting goals and saying, “I can do it on my own!”J. Martin
- An excellent book for growing kids! This book will help your kids examine what they can and can’t do yet as they grow. This week, my three-year-old asked “Am I a big girl?” We talked about how she is getting bigger and this book helped us take our chat even further. I highly recommend this book to growing and curious kids.J. Jurchenko
- Fond Memories Of When I Too Was 5 You hit the nail right on the head with this cute book. I remember being 5 and always challenging everyone that I was strong and smart and could do it myself...until I got to tieing a necktie when I turned 6. Kids will have lots to say when they read this. Thanks.L. the
- My son turned 4 recently, what do I do? My son turned four recently and is very aware of his age. I picked this up for my iPad Kindle Reader at night. It's very simple and will help him register this new awareness of what it means to be bigger (he keeps talking about turning 5!).Never thought of a book about aging for kids, but it's a simply yet helpful book to help him 🙂D.
- Getting Bigger is A-OK I loved the message as it was two-fold in this growing up story. Littles feeling frustrated at what they can't do and accepting help and adults helping littles meet their needs because even though they are bigger, help is still important and necessary. A feel good story for littles, big kids and their families! Love the author's note in the beginning and the fun checklist at the end. Add this book to your collection!!M. L.
- Fun and instructive! This book is exactly what parents of in between children need to help them get through the transition stage of baby to toddler, when they can do some things themselves but not all. Young readers will enjoy the rhythmic flow of the words and the expressive illustrations. The printable extras are a nice added touch!D.
- Cute Book with Free Downloads for Growing Bigger Kids! This is a really sweet book. I haven't seen one written so clearly for the inbetweeners- the kiddos caught between being bigER but not quite big. This book gives kids a chance to acknowledge the frustration AND the growth and be okay with where they are. I especially love the free downloadable achievement certificate, charts, and coloring book/guide to help kids track and celebrate their growth. Definitely worth it!M. Pusey
- I AM BIGGER is on point! As a grandparent, it is refreshing to see a child’s book that reinforces parenting skills. I like how Belle restates the book’s central message thread every couple of pages. That repetition helps reinforce the message and refocus a young child as the book is being read. The illustrations are well done and support the message of the book quite well. Thanks, Belle, for another excellent children’s book.L. Holliday
- Children Can Relate To The Story I read this book to my friends child while on the road and she loved it! It was as this book was made for her! She kept repeating, “it’s okay “. Which was part of the story. She could relate to it because she’s learning the very things in the story! I will recommend this book to parents, daycares, and even pre- kindergarten!M.
