Review/Giveaway: Howard B. Wigglebottom Listens to His Heart

We've recently had a few discussions with Paddy about being yourself.  I never realized that this would be a conversation I'd be having with a 4 year old.  He's started to realize that he and his friends have some different interests.  We just want to make sure he understands that that's OK, and the same things don't make everyone happy.  We also want him to be true to himself.  He often tends to be a people pleaser (not that he necessarily cares about pleasing me, just his friends).  The opportunity to review "Howard B. Wigglebottom Listens to His Heart" couldn't have come at a better time.

In this Wigglebottom installment, Howard gets made fun of while doing what he loves best, dancing, and decides to just be like everyone else.  Unfortunately, that's not what makes him happy.  After some guidance from a grown up, Howard realizes that he needs to do what he loves and do it the best he can, and only then will he be truly happy.

What We Thought:
Much like Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns About Sportsmanship, we've really enjoyed the lesson in this Wigglebottom story, and it definitely hit home.  As seen in the video, 4 year old Paddy took away that he should be true to himself too.  He recommends the book to other kids and parents...And so do I.
