Review by Philly Shanty -- Dynomike: What's Heartfulness?
[Following is a volunteer review of "Dynomike: What's Heartfulness?" by Frankie B. Rabbit.]
Dynomike and his friends, Spunky and Winky want to go for a ride on their bikes. However, they don't want to leave their dear friend Jack Brussels out. In high spirits they arrive at the house where Jack lives with his mother to find him very sad. They ask what's wrong and he explains that his mother is very sick and is not getting better. Due to his mother's illness, he is not able to ride with them that day. Dynomike, Spunky and Winky try to come up with a solution to this sad situation. Finally, they figure it out and their great idea is heartfulness.
The children's book Dynomike: What's heartfulness? is an easy read as is common with children's books. The words are simple and the illustrations are so colourful, they will attract any kid. Dynomike: What's heartfulness? by Frankie B. Rabbit teaches some valuable lessons. First, the book has a generally joyful and optimistic mood. I believe this will teach little children to be positive and always look on the bright side.
Second, the book teaches kindness and empathy. We all need a bit of that in our world. What I personally took from this book is that one should not expect anything in return for doing good or being kind to someone else. After Jack's mother got well, there was no mention of who delivered gifts or an expected 'thank you'. I found this pretty deep and impressive for a children's book. This was my favourite thing about the book. I also liked the rhyme the writer infused in the story to make it more interesting to read for kids. I must say that it was a bit of a surprise that "think thoughtful intentions where heartfulness starts" ended with the giving of gifts when gifts were the same things they were thinking of giving when they first learned of the illness. I thought thinking about kindness towards another was going to do the trick and not doing something like what you were thinking before. This was what I disliked most. Maybe the author wanted to teach that earlier they were using their minds and later their hearts and that made things better.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because the story although really short teaches kids some pretty important life lessons and not just rhyme. The book was also well edited and the presentation was perfect.
This is a children's book but as an adult, I wouldn't mind reading it on a bad day for some hope and positivity.
