I’m Thankful for…: A Book About Being Grateful! by Uncle Amon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I got this book for free after being asked for reviews of another author’s books. I’m trying to clear out my audible account of the little things, so I’m not crazy reading this when it’s not Thanksgiving time.
It is a cute book teaching kids gratitude. If I had small children, it would be wonderful to share it with them.

There are a lot of great children’s books listed in the above linked article. Unfortunately for those of us in the USA, these seems to be British books, and the prices are listed in pounds. The list is worth looking at, though. Some of the books look wonderful.

My Attitude of Gratitude by Melissa Winn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a cute book about teaching children to be grateful for what they do have, and not worrying about what they don’t have.
I know some adults who need a gratitude jar, too. It seems like a great idea.
I didn’t try to print out the gratitude slips from the kindle book, so I wonder if that would work.

This was a very cute story about playing to your strengths. It teaches children that even if you’re not good at something, there’s still something you are really good at. It would make for a great bedtime story.

Monster Pals: Cute Rhyming Bedtime Story for Kids by Arnie Lightning
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
The story here was probably great, but I just couldn’t get over the narrator’s voices. I understand that they are supposed to be monsters, but it is also supposed to be a bedtime book. Couldn’t it have been toned down to make it less creepy? The monsters are supposed to be friendly and helpful, but the narrator makes them come across as scary.
The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a great book to teach kids about trying and succeeding. I think just about everyone knows this story, but it is still worth a read at some point, so that the full impact is made.
My Lil’ Ladybug Friend by Toby Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is a cute little story about finding ladybugs.
The illustrations aren’t quite your typical children’s books illustrations and they have almost a chalk-like feel to them. They are beautiful, but I wasn’t expecting them in this book.
The book would make a great bedtime book.
