Kid review: I read this for business class. I liked it. I think I am like Scurry and I think Hem is bad because he didn't let his friend explain. -- Sagan age 5

I read the book to my students today and I was amazed at how engrossed in the students were. There were lots of distractions today during the time that I was reading, but almost all of the students were riveted to the story. It will be interesting to see how well we can use the lessons from the book, which is basically about learning to have a good attitude toward changes in life.

The adult version of this book annoying and the kids version is just as annoying. A motivational book for kids...really???? The book was long and dragged on.

Loved the version for adults and now a gem of book for children.

I wasn't sure how my 4 year would receive this but surprisingly, the various complex concept were easily grasped through Johnson's writing.

Concepts such as taking responsibility rather than blaming or getting angry when things don't go the way we expect, reacting verses responding, moving on to the next 'magical cheese' even if it scares us, staying in touch with what our 'magical cheese' is, being optimistic about what's coming next by creating a positive attitude towards how great the next cheese will be.

The book can stir several rich discussions, on a variety of situations with children.

Highly recommend this a source to refer to often.

Who Moved My Cheese Illustrates the importance of change and the rewards that come with it.
As an adult, I find change to be challenging; difficult to overcome. This children's book resonates deeply within me; it illuminates the fear and insecurity that I have sheltered in my spirit. I acknowledge, grudgingly, and most times, reluctantly a yield to change when there is no other option available. After reading this book, I am hopeful that as an adult I can now more readily relinquish negative behavior that inhibits my growth and grasp the positive attitude that change will allow.

Weirdly psychological or a children's book. 2 mice and 2.....tiny colored humans? work their way through a maze everyday, but when the recent supply of cheese runs out they all handle the situation differently.

Both children (10 & 5) liked it and were interested.

I am an adult now. I should have had this book as a child.

Dealing w/ change can be hard for me. I like things to stay just the way they are and not ruffle my feathers or get out of my comfort zone. But, change is good and often leads to even better things! I read this to my son (the simplified, child's version of the regular book) and we both liked it. My husband really liked the regular version, but I thought this book got the point across just fine. I have no desire to read the more in-depth book on dealing with and accepting change.

An excellent book for helping kids face change and deal with it
