Very nice children's book aimed that I think would be great for helping them identify and recognize their negative emotions. What's really great is that it also shows kids that parents can have these emotions too. I received a free audio book copy from the author through Library thing, and while that was great I was very happy to find the book available on Kindle Unlimited. With children's books the illustrations are such a big part of the book. The illustrations in this book are bright colorful and cheerful - which I think would make the subject matter a bit easier to take for young children. ( )

This really was a good story and I would check this out for my kids and over-read it at home and suggest to kids for pre-K up through first grade! Awesome story and concept and a great lesson.

I got to listen through Audible for this book review and while that was awesome I would rec you by this book because the kids get the effects of the art as well. I know these pictures were just bright and awesome. Plus there is an activity in the back that children would love.

Listen to the audiobook but buy the printed book! And get it for your child as soon as possible. Young ones will love this story! ( )

"Busy Dizzy" is a rhyming book that helps younger children cope with some of the negative feelings that might experience. Often younger children have a hard time understanding and coping with feelings they might experience in social settings. This book uses rhymes to easily help a child understand and deal with those feelings.
I gave this book four stars instead of five stars because the illustrations in my opinion were mundane. ( )

I received this book for free via a LibraryThing giveaway, in exchange for an honest review.

It's difficult to review a picture book as an adult, but I did enjoy this one. I read The War of Art by Steven Pressfield last year, and am currently reading Resisting Happiness by Matthew Kelly. Both discuss ways of fighting Resistance. This seems like a child's book for how to combat Resistance. It has cute art and good rhymes. Growing up I always liked books that rhymed. I thought it was odd that the order the children were introduced (David, Sophie and Joe) was not the order that we got the details of their Dizzies (Sophie, David and Joe.) I'm not sure if this is something that would significantly bother young children, but I noticed it.

The only thing that I think could be potentially problematic is the lack of specification between when Dizzies tell you not to do something good (not cry, play with your friends, give a teacher an answer you know) and when you want something bad, and your conscience tells you not to. The teacher describes Dizzies as a voice that tells you not to do something that you want to do, but there will be times when you want to do something bad and your conscience tells you not to.

So in the end, this is a good book to discuss with a child the strange Resistance that we sometimes have to doing something good, but be careful that they don't confuse Dizzies (Resistance) with their conscience. ( )

This is a very good book. Perfect for little kids who have a hard time finding courage.

A very cute story with very nice pictures.

The book contains:
1. The main story.
2. Parental guidance.
3. A little "workbook" parents/teachers can do with children.

Good for kids who need a little encouragement. ( )
