Title: Conversation starter with kids
Review: This book is part of a set and I love that each one opens lots of opportunities to chat with and guide our kids. When invited to the classroom to read to a group of second graders, we chose this book and were able to engage the kids throughout by referencing the pictures and asking them to think of different "chances" they've had. I brought up topics of fear, bullying, courage, excitement...it's really a nicely written book with pretty illustrations that I think would work well for kids 5-8 years. The language is also easy enough the second graders could easily read it themselves.

Title: I loved What Do You Do With an Idea
Review: What Do You Do With a Chance?By Kobi YamadaIllustrated by Mae BesomThis is the third book from this creative duo. I loved What Do You Do With an Idea? And What Do You Do With a Problem? However, this is definitely my favorite! This exquisite picture book once again follows a little person as he wanders the countryside and on this adventure is visited by a chance. He wants to grab the chance, but has his doubts. Does he have the courage? What if he misses the chance? Would he feel foolish?The charming illustrations, as well as the questions the little guy asks on every page, provide so many opportunities to begin some wonderful conversations with your little ones. The story concludes with a thought we all need to remember, no matter what our age. âSo what do you do with a chance? You take it...because it just might be the start of something incredible.â In fact, with graduations approaching, this would make the perfect gift!My advice is to run to your nearest bookstore or library and get your own copy of this special book. Itâs certainly one youâll want to add to your familyâs library!

Review: How do you explain chance to an elementary school student. This is a great book to read. It teaches young kids to learn how to take chances and opportunities before itâs too late. I found the concept of chance is even harder to explain to younger kids as they are in the process of developing their characters and learning how to take opportunities when it comes. I bought this along with the other books ( what do you do with problems + what do you do with ideas). Great book to keep at home.
