Book review - making friends is an art

Why I like to use storybooks as a tool to promote good behaviour because they work far better than nagging when it comes to pointing the point across. Also, kids tend to be more receptive to listening to stories as opposed to being told what to do. They also understand it more when examples are given in the story. As such , apart from reading parenting books, I have also bought and read a lot of children books that impact certain skills - both English and Chinese. And I will try reviewing and sharing them here in this blog. 

It's an interesting book with colour pencils as characters where each colour has a certain trait / personality and Brown was initially disliked. The story went on where he uncovered why people didn't like him and how he changed and how he made friends eventually. 

I like the simple but interesting story and so did Cayen.  

By the way, I tried to make the book more interesting by asking him to relate which of his classmate relates to each of the colour pencils and we had fun doing so. 

He said he's Purple as Purple has hopes and dreams. 

Theme: Social skills, friendship
My rating : 4 out of 5 stars
