Review by raluca_mihaila -- Dynomike: Pay It Forward
Dynomike: Pay It Forward is a lovely children’s book that belongs to a series of stories designed to help kids learn life lessons in an entertaining way. However, each book can be read as a standalone. The book starts with a common situation that we can all relate to; Dynomike wants to buy strawberry pickles, but the store is out. The good news is that he can help Spunky with his runaway banana cart. That simple gesture puts in motion a snowball of kindness in the neighborhood. Do you think that Dynomike will get his treat?
The message of the book is simple and straightforward: do something nice for another person, without hesitating and considering an ulterior motive. You will feel good about yourself, and that is priceless. Nevertheless, when you least expect it, you will also get a reward.
I appreciated the colorful illustrations because they are very appropriate for children. The drawings are dynamic and suggestive, so the kids will also absorb the message using the images. The details are just enough to offer all the information while inciting their imagination. The dialogue is concise and catchy, suitable for the intended audience. Also, it repeats the core message as often as possible.
The presentation is flawless, as I found no mistakes due to professional editing. Also, the text features a white background that makes it very easy to read for children, parents, or grandparents. I also appreciated the personalized label for the owner of the book because it was a nice touch.
I enthusiastically recommend this story to children aged 3-7. It will be a quick read since it’s only 29 pages long.
In conclusion, I rate Dynomike: Pay It Forward by Frankie B. Rabbit 4 out of 4 stars. It is an excellent book about friendship and generosity, with fun characters and great role models. The parents will also enjoy reading this book because they will recall a simple and always actual lesson. How can you pay it forward?
