I love Dynomike's stories and his message of spreading kindness. In this book, it seems that Dynomike creates a chain reaction to help others. I really enjoyed reading it thanks to the free copy I've received. Lovely review! Thanks!

A children’s book that focuses on the importance of helping others, without expecting anything in return sounds selfless. It's good to imbibe this into children when they're young. I'm adding this to my TBR list. Thanks for the introduction.

Teaching kids about "paying it forward" for good deeds is such a good idea! I hope kids get a kick out of this book! Great review!

While I agree with you about the word “hangry” possibly confusing young children, made up words like “schnarf” would probably just enchant them. Lewis Carroll and Roald Dahl often invented strange-sounding words, and that was one of the things I loved about their stories and poetry when I was a kid. The book you reviewed has a lovely cast of characters and I like the art style as well!

I think paying it forward is a good concept to teach kids, so they internalize long before they grow up. No one should ever let the cycle of kindness end with them. Thanks for the review.

It's a great idea to pay kindness forward, and I think this would be a fun tool to use while demonstrating to my pupils the importance and practicality of the concept. Great review!

This sounds like a cute story with an important message for young children. Too often as adults, we forget that sometimes it can feel good to just do something nice because it’s the right thing to do. I have to disagree on the point about slang and made-up words, though; they can often work well in books for kids this age. Dr. Seuss made up plenty of words. In fact, it’s believed that his book If I Ran the Zoo is the first use of the now popular term “nerd”. So, I have no problem with the use of “hangry” and “schnarf” here. Regardless, thank you for the helpful review.

Very good book on kindness. I think children must know about empathy and passion to giving others. A little deed of kindness can change someone's life. Helping other without any greed is rare thing.
