Leo reviews: Solutions for Cold Feet and other Little Problems written & Illustrated by Carey Sookocheff
“Solutions for a missing shoe: Check in the closet. Look under the Bed. Search behind the couch and under the table…. Wear a mismatched pair.”
Life hits you with lots of little problems each day. What do you do if you’ve lost a shoe? What about if your ice-cream is melting? What do you do if the day is boring? Lots of little questions for kids’ big problems - and a lot of great solutions, both silly and sweet!
This is a great book for two reasons: first is the silliness. Lots of funny situations and funny solutions, along with charming and cute illustrations. Second is, a lot of these suggestions are actually quite good! It’s great to have a book that so seamlessly blends in practical advice with humour and charm that won’t bore the reader. I certainly loved it. If you want to help your child figure out how to solve problems and work out solutions, I’d say give this book from our collection a go!
