MY REVIEW:
I got interested in this book because of a recent story I heard from a mom from my daughter's class. Let me tell you a bit of the story.
I recently accompanied my 6 year old daughter to a play date with her "BFF" at Chuck E Cheese and while we're waiting for them to use all their tokens, I got the chance to talk to her BFF's mom. She asked me if my daughter might've told me about a girl in their class who is a bit of a bully. To be clear, my daughter and her BFF is in 1st grade. Since my 6 year old daughter always have a positive outlook, I told her no I haven't heard of it. Her BFF's mom told me that her daughter told her stories everyday about this girl who kept friending and un-friending her daughter everyday. One day the girl is nice to her daughter and the next day, she'll pretend she doesn't even exist. I think it's a form of mild bullying so I got worried and asked my daughter about this girl in their class. She knows the girl and tells me that she does get in trouble a lot in class.
I never imagined bullies and bullying starts at such a young age. Tiffy's Top Hat is such a nice eye opener to younger kids. Although it's geared towards kids age 8 to 12, I love how my daughter understood this when I read it to her. I like how it teaches honesty and kindness. The book has a mix of humor, mild horror and full of lessons.
This is a great book for kids 8 to 12 as well as a nice book to read to younger children. The words and the story is easy to understand so my 6 year old daughter didn't have any problems understanding the story and the lesson of this book.
