Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns About Courage children's book Review and Giveaway! (US/CAN) Ends 3/29 (Rafflecopter)
The We Do Listen Foundation (that creates the Howard B. Wigglebottom books) is a Non Profit foundation, made up of a group of writers, artists, designers, educators, therapists, parents, caregivers and teachers who share a vision of a kinder world with more harmony and peace and a better life for everyone to enjoy. The eleven picture books in our award winning, educator endorsed series tackle important life lessons for 3-8 year olds like listening, bullying, sportsmanship, anger management, self-esteem, moderation, truth, divorce, peer pressure, belonging, generosity, sportsmanship, fear issues and attention.
As my three children get older I find these books to be more helpful with them growing up. We had a chance to review the Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns about Courage children's book. The book explains that it’s OK to be afraid, and that you have to have courage and to be brave! I like that they used a baby bird learning to fly as an example of courage and being brave. My older children are five and a half and three and a half. My three and a half year old daughter Chloe is really, super afraid of bugs (flies, spiders, worms, etc.). She has nightmares where she wakes up screaming, crying, and shaking because she claims that there is a big bug in her bed. She scared me to death when she did this a few weeks ago. This book couldn't have come at a better time. Since we read this book to our children, she hasn't had one bad dream about bugs. She even pointed out to me a dead worm on the ground and thought it was a snake. My children really enjoy reading this book over and over again. I would recommend it to anyone with children from ages 3 to about 8 years old. I also had a chance in the past, to review Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Power of Giving: A Christmas Story.
Children can go to WeDoListen.org to play games, read through Animated Books, sing Songs, and Color & Print their Own Books! They also have a section on Anti-Bullying and how to deal with bullies.
Howard B. Wigglebottom hardcover books retail for $15.00 in the U.S. and Canada. On their website they’re now on sale for $6.00 or $55.00 for a set of 11. Several Wigglebottom books can be purchased through Scholastic and eBook versions are on Apple for $1.99.

Howard B. Wigglebottom Books Review and Giveaway! (US/CAN) Ends 12/13
I reviewed the book "Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Power of Giving: A Christmas Story" with my four year old son, Matthew. When I was finished reading it to him, I asked him what he learned from the story. He said "I learned to share, and that it makes people happy when you share your toys." What a smart little guy he is! He got the moral of the story all by himself with no help from me.
"Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Power of Giving: A Christmas Story" is about a white rabbit named Howard who has many toys, and he wants ever more toys for Christmas. Howard also doesn't share his toys with his siblings. Howard learns that there are animals around him who have no families, homes, beds, or toys, and they believe Howard is Santa Bunny. So the animals (birds) tell Howard what they want for Christmas.
The birds help Howard find his way back to his house. Howard fixes them some food, puts them to bed, and then Howard wraps up his toys to give to the birds as their Christmas presents. There is more to the story than that, but I don't want to give it all away!
I also reviewed "Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen." Howard goes to school, plays baseball, and more and he doesn't listen to anyone, not his teacher or his friends. Howard gets hurt and bad things happen to him all because he isn't listening. Then the next day, Howard listens to everyone and wins an award at school for listening! Howard learned that he won't get hurt, or in trouble, if he listens to what adults and his friends are saying to him. After reading this book to our four year old son, he went to school the next day and he got an award for listening and making good choices! Our son has been in school for five or six weeks now, and he is just now adjusting to being there and their routines. He was so happy, and I was happy too! I took him to a fast food restaurant to play for a few hours and to have lunch! He was so excited, and he was good for me for the rest of the day!
I believe in the lessons that the Howard B. Wigglebottom books are teaching that I am going to lend the two books that I got to review, to our son's Pre K teacher! She is excited to check them out!
