This book sounds like it would be perfect for my first grader. The colorful pictures and easy rhymes would help comprehension for him. I agree that slang should be avoided in children's books. Good review!

I've had too many instances of grown people not knowing about the concept of doing something kind without expecting something. So I believe this is a good lesson to learn as fast as possible for children. Put in a book that is colorful and cheerful, I can believe kids actually want to read this book.

Thanks for this review! It was great!

It is wonderful to find such a children's book that is filled with moral lessons.

However, I think the little mishaps such as slang words can be easily fixed perhaps in other editions.

But for the plot, I think it will be an enjoyable read for both children and adults alike.

Thank you for the review.

A book that instills the virtue of children helping others, without expecting anything in return is a good thing. I will add it to my shelves so that my son can access it when he is of age. Informative review. Congratulations on BOTD

An interesting children’s book "Dynomike: Pay It Forward" by Frankie B. Rabbi, its about helping others without expecting anything in return. The lead character Dynomike helps his friend Spunky stop a banana cart from sliding down the hill, and tells him to pass the favor to others who are in need. A great book for children.

Thank you for the review. Slang is definitely not good for young learners. The colourful pictures make it appealing.

It's truly best for children, especially when they are in their formative period. Once they grow with it, they don't depart from it. I mean it is best to give help without expecting anything in return. Great review.

I enjoyed this book as well and applaud the review as I don't know that I could come up with this much to write about a short children's picture book. I love the "pay it forward" concept and think this book is a great way to teach the concept to kids. I would recommend for all ages despite the made up word and the slang.

Illustrated children's books are not exactly my forte, nonetheless, the theme of kindness and the importance of helping others without expectations provides good lesson tips for kids. Dynomike: Pay It Forward by Frankie B. Rabbit, looks like a great read and worth giving a shot. Congratulations on BOTD. Good review.
