This is an excellent book that has been adapted for a young audience. The book is about how to deal with the changes that we face throughout our lives. Change can be challenging to deal with at any age, and this book is designed give children (young and old) tools for coping with challenging life changes. The story features 4 mice who live in a maze and are chasing cheese, when the cheese is moved to a new location in the maze, the mice have to decide how they are going to deal with those changes to find new cheese. The illustrations are colorful, bright and cheerful. The mice look more human-like than mouse-like, but I think that will help children connect with the story. This book could be used with any age group, though with older children (late teens) you could use the original book writing for adults. This book is definitely designed to teach a lesson.
This adaptation of Johnson’s business fable Who moved my cheese? for a juvenile audience was originated by his son Christian to help children adapt to change.
As a picture book, I found it overly long and a bit tedious. The illustrations are OK, but not great.
Really good book. I liked it a lot and I had a good meaning. It'll take you probably a day to read. Some people could take a little message from this book, but to other this could really be life changing. :-) U Decide
Hey, I still like pictures. This should prove better than the adult version. I'm a visually oriented person, really. Oh yea, and I even have an excuse, a bright 4 year old who I am taking through some major changes with me. .
Read the adult version and found this for kids at the library. I enjoyed reading it to my kids and the conversation we had during the reading and after.
Not sure if this would actually resonate with younger kids. As a children's book, this is dreadfully bad. Apologies to the other reviewers-- I just couldn't stomach it.
