Reviews of "BLEAGH and BLEEP! A second book about values"
Once again, I found the book to be very entertaining and educational. Beautifully illustrated with bold, vibrant colours, the book has taken on difficult-to-explain topics and translated it so skillfully and in such child-friendly language. And it certainly made it so much easier for me to explain the meaning of these values to the boys!
But it still didn't stop them from exclaiming 'BLEH! BLEH! BLEH!' throughout the course of the book... and to top things off, Ale joined in the ruckus by repeating 'BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP!' as well. Ah well, perhaps the next book should inculcate the value of 'Silence is Golden', no? Just kidding! All in, this book uses a lighthearted and engaging story which provides a great opportunity to have some great discussions with your kids about certain key values in life. And that itself, is priceless. - Kelvin, cheekiemonkies |
Bleagh and Bleep! is an absolutely delightful follow-up to the first book featuring Bleagh alone. We were thrilled to discover that Bleagh has a little sister Bleep and that together, they still have so many lessons to learn. I love the diversity of values included in the book and the context in which they are presented. I think most children will relate easily to one or both of the main characters and the experiences they have while having to complete their homework and their special school project. Parents and teachers will easily be able to identify discussion points in the story to share with young children. I highly recommend both Bleagh! and Bleagh and Bleep! to parents, teachers, and librarians to teach children ages 3 and older a variety of common values.
