pickOur thoughts create our world and our words indicate our thoughts. Complaining about an illness will neither shorten its duration nor lessen its severity. It is vital that we control our minds in order to re-create our lives. Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
pickComplaining too much? This book leads to the philosophy: no matter where you go, there you are. Classic Jory John humor and Lane Smith simplicity. 🐧🐧🐧🐧
When I was a teen, I hated the way Viz Media translated anime and manga, I didn‘t like that they romanized onomatopoeias, and didn‘t like that they dropped Japanese honorifics. Turns out, I still don‘t like them. I could be wrong, but I don‘t think this taiyaki sign is supposed to advertise cream-filled croissants 🤔 (I mean, it might have though. It could be taiyaki up top and croissants on the bottom) #manga #complaining
pickWas Stephan Britt the first to say “'Tis better to complain, than to arrive“? This book is genius. Kids will love taking Mr. Complain through the loop de loops, and other misadventures. #everybodybooks #dogsoflitsy
pickA complaint free world sounds really lovely. But is it realistic?
Let‘s be honest: we all complain.
Through this book you are encouraged to go 21 days without complaining and because of it will notice a healthier, happier lifestyle.
I have way eased up on complaining over the past few years but this book really helps keep things in focus. Nothing is wrong with trying to be more positive!
Another Kohl‘s find that Lula-Belle finds delicious! This PB would be great in a classroom RT. This cranky little penguin has so much wrong in his life that he forgets to look at the good. Until, a wise walrus opens his eyes to the great around him. This could be used as a valuable lesson to appreciate what you have, not dwell on what you don‘t!

pickThis Junior Library Guild award winning book is a humorous tale of a penguin that is having a rough day but ultimately discovers he is where he is supposed to be. This is a great storytelling opportunity or RA. Penguin Prob. promotes the facilitation of coping skills and strategies which is why UDL 9.2 is a principle to incorporate. Teachingbooks.net offers classroom resources. Pages 5&6 introduce a food chain learning opportunity! #UCFLAE3414SP20
so-soI borrowed this one from my boss after she mentioned the author. There are some good ideas here, though they are wrapped up in the fictional story of HR rep Hope, who is tasked with saving the company while her personal life throws stress at her. That story has more drama than an afternoon soap opera!
Still, I‘m glad to have read the book. A complainer by nature, I‘m going to try to only do so with a solution moving forward.
I‘ll be starting the tagged book today, so I‘m posting my #BookReport a tad prematurely. I‘ve enjoyed all of my reading this week! I‘m feeling good about the semi-structure for January so far ☺️
