I found another good book. This one is to help with your mental health. Though it is for children. The adult may enjoy it as well. It has a Mindful Mantra that may help you or your child or children how to handle tricky situations. It is called “I Can Handle It!”

This book is a good read and teaches you how to handle some situations that you may end up in your children. It deals with some different emotions that everyone goes through. It is easy to read. Parents will want this to read to their children to help with improving their confidence.

This will help your child or children with difficult emotions and with some of their problems. This book may have some ideas to help them to deal with some of the problems that they may have. The pictures are done well. It was written well.

Parents can read this to their child or children. They will learn to practice these Mantas or saying I Can Handle it as they read it. They will have this to fall back on after they read and reread this book. It is a wonderful teachable book. I enjoy the pictures. They show off some things that we can do to solve some of our emotions that are hard to express or deal with.

Description: Michael McMichaels just HAD to one-up that Harriet Simpson! He couldn't let her show and tell presentation about her mother's mother's (times seven) beautiful ring she got from a REAL prince be the best show and tell of the year! So what was he supposed to do?

A timely visit to Grandma's and a stealthy "borrowing" of one of her bracelets was going to be just the trick! Well, when coupled with an outlandish tale that got him and the borrowed bracelet featured on the local news!

But what happens when Michael's tall tale and borrowing without permission all come crashing down? Find out in this entertaining chapter book.

The Misadventures of Michael McMichaels book is about another moral lesson that we need to teach lesson. This story about an borrowed bracelet but do your children or child know the different between borrowing and stealing?

This story plot put Michael in a predicament. Does he know the different or not? You will see that he does something he thinks is justified as he not harming anyone one and has learned lesson about what did in book one. If you have not that is a good book to read a well and is the beginning of the series.

Tony Penn does a good job with this moral lesson and bringing it out for children to learn and understand the concept. He also does it where young children can learn and enjoy the book. This is a good book for parents as well as young children and readers.

The picture are done well. I do enjoy the misadventures that the young Michael goes though. I can see young children learning from this book and the moral lesson behind the book.

Review: The Misadventures of Michael McMichaels Vol. 1: The Angry Alligator

Book Title: The Misadventures of Michael McMichaels Vol. 1: The Angry Alligator
Author: Tony Penn
Genres: Children, Adventure, Animals, Social Skills
Series: The Misadventures of Michael McMichaels Book #1
Publisher: Boys Town Press
Publish Date: 2016-02-10 (96 Pages, Paperback)
Disclaimer: I received a copy of each book in the series from the publisher and for an honesty review.
Description: A chapter book for independent readers in grades 1-5. Helps children understand the impact of making a mistake and telling and a lie, and how a lie can quickly spin into more lies. What was supposed to be a fun, educational field trip to the local zoo turned into a living nightmare for a young third-grader. One stupid prank, quickly followed by one big lie, leaves Michael scrambling to save himself from a hotheaded redhead bent on revenge and a sharp-toothed alligator ready to chomp. Will Michael escape his web of lies by owning up to his mistakes and apologizing? Or will he keep hiding the truth by spinning wilder and wilder tales?

Are you a kid that thinks everything can go wrong does. The Misadventures of Michael McMichaels maybe a good book for you. It a story with morals and life lessons. The first book is about The Angry Alligator. Ever hear the saying The Gator gonna get you or eat you.

The child in the book say say this to Michael and it gives him the idea of it really happening. The lessons in the book is about not lying about something you did. You know once you tell one lie it get harder to tell the truth as you go to cover up one lie after another.

Well Michael lies and lies and it get all tangled up. You are in a big mess when you should have just told the truth in the first place and you would not be needing to cover up more lies. I also like the saying The truth will set you free.
