Oddly enough Princess Sophia wasn't at all interested in the book when she saw it. Hey, she is three and as a book lover whose occasionally dismissed a book based on the cover; I get it. So, I sat down with Prince Clayton who was more than happy for story time. As I read I could not help but laugh. Owen's non-stop rabblings reminded me of Princess Sophia and her mother. Both are/were non-stop, inquisitive children. As I continued reading aloud and Owen's talking got him into unexpected trouble, a funny thing happened, Princess Sophia wormed her way up into my lap to see the pictures. LOL.
Owen's talking annoys his friends, causing him to miss important information and ends with his friends yelling in frustration. It baffles poor Owen, but when he wakes up with laryngitis, it provides the perfect opportunity for him to listen to others. I loved the lessons contained within this story and how the children interacted. It was thoughtful and positive in a fun, sometimes silly way that provided teachable moments.
The back of the book contains questions perfect for classroom discussions or a one on one with your little one. Princess Sophia learned about laryngitis and letting others share their ideas. As for Prince Clayton this was a little over his head, but he enjoyed reading with his Nonna and that is a wonderful thing. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
