It's Tough to Lose Your Balloon

It’s Tough to Lose Your Balloon

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars

Summary: This colorfully illustrated book teaches children to look on the bright side, even when something sad or frustrating happens. Each page describes something going wrong, like losing a balloon or breaking a toy, and the opposite page shows how it could actually be a good thing, if you look hard enough. 

Review: This is a fantastic book for children preschool-age and older. It not only provides good examples of how to stay optimistic, but also teaches children various ways to explain how they’re feeling. The simple illustrations show clear facial expressions and can be a good way to start teaching your child feeling words. This story can also be a great conversation starter and prompt you and your child to come up with a list of other bad things that can actually turn out to be pretty great!
