Girls Don't Take Karate by Susan Sweenie
5.0

This book was really cute. All about a little girl who loves pink. She loves pink so much, more than anything else. Then she is introduced to Karate. She is scared to go and doesn't think she will like it, because it's not the girl thing to do. But eventually ends up loving it.
This book has a great message for kids: try it out before you say you don't like it. See if you might like it before saying no. It's done perfectly from a child's point of view.
I read this book to my 6 year old, who happens to be a boy who takes karate. He loved that it involved karate and he really did understand the point of the book, which was nice.
A great book that teaches kids they can step outside the box and encourages them to try new things and not be scared because they may actually like it!
I'm excited to have my 6 year old niece read this book. I think she's really going to love it!
