Dash and Nikki and the Jellybean Game by Anthony Delauney, Anthony Delauney, Anthony C. Delauney, Anthony C. Delauney
4.0

3.8 Stars

The book is written in rhyming verse and has sweet illustrations about a brother and sister who have to play a fun game to earn jellybeans.

While the verse as such wasn’t gripping, the concept was. The book isn’t limited to teaching kids about sharing. It talks of being patient, planning, and knowing how to win. There’s a bit of subtle financial advice for kids about saving.

That said, parents/ teachers will have to explain it to the kids and start a discussion. The themes in the book can be interpreted for different aspects, so that’s a win-win situation at the end.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Mascot Books and am voluntarily leaving a review.
