Book Review of Rosie and Friends Positively Different by Helen Hipp



I recently participated in the Rosie and Friends Positively Different by Helen Hipp book tour by sharing an author guest post here. Now I'm back with my book review!

ABOUT ROSIE AND FRIENDS POSITIVELY DIFFERENT:

Rosie the Pink Hippo asks readers "What advice would you give your friends who want to feel better about themselves" in this adventure book to help readers see that being different can be positive. Join Rosie the Pink Hippo, Olivia the Ostrich, and many others in this educational and eye-opening 28-page illustrated children's book, Rosie and Friends Positively Different, a creative and fun teaching tool intended for parents, caregivers, teachers, and children who may have felt at some point in their life that they were different from their peers.

BOB READS BOOKS REVIEW:


Rosie is positively different indeed. Rosie is a pink hippo and she’s quite happy being different. When the other animals here Rosie thinking out loud, they all stop to listen. They want to know what’s so great about being different. A playful monkey wants to know “why is celebrating your differences so important?” They gather around to hear the important explanation and they all learn some valuable lessons about being different.

This is a positively positive book. I always appreciate books that encourage children and this one certainly does. The illustrations and characters are colorful, cute and expressive. The story allows parents and other adults an opportunity to go into even more detail about what it means to be different and why we should all be celebrating our own uniqueness.

I’d recommend Rosie and Friends Positively Different to anyone who works with children. As an uncle, with two young nephews I know I’m going to be reading this book to them! Thanks to the author for providing me with a complimentary copy of her book.
