What Should Danny Do? School Day

Great book for discussing choices and teaching kids to have agency over their lives. I wish this book had been around when I was a kid! My son (5) and even my daughter (2) love this book and seeing how changing the choices impacts Danny’s day. The book has extremely relatable situations that kids are likely to encounter, so it gives us a great framework for talking about these when they arise in real life. We often reference the “power to choose” or even other superpowers like “super focus”. We also have the original book and the “Darla” book which my daughter particularly loves. The book is fun and engaging and the illustrations are colorful and evocative.

Helps to teach kids the importance of making good choices. Your child gets to make the choice for Danny and the story continues based on choice made. Creating so many different stories to read. Kids love the book. Also there is a What Would Darla Do book.

Helpful for those with littles who are learning self control and decision making. These books are very well thought out and intentional but keep my kiddo pulled in and not feeling like its a "lesson."

Got this for my 3 almost 4 year old great granddaughter. She absolutely loves being able to decide and make choices. what a great idea to teach children they have choices and the ramifications of them. Highly recommend this book

We can’t get enough of What Should Danny Do? 🙌 It’s not just a story, it’s an interactive adventure that helps kids see how their choices shape their day. My son (who’s on the spectrum) absolutely loves it, and it’s been such a helpful tool for teaching emotions and decision-making in a fun way. Highly recommend this one for all kids 💛

My 6 year old son was intrigued when he heard that Danny has super powers. He couldn’t wait to read and choose the scenarios! At first he chose the answer he thought he was supposed to pick, but then wondered what would happen if he chose wrong on the second scenario. He wanted to read it multiple times to discover how things played out. As a school counseling graduate student, I would highly recommend for parents wanting to expand on the importance of making good choices. This is one of the most important thing we can teach our children as they grow older and are faced with many different challenges. This story is also effective at teaching resilience as children grasp the concept of disappointment and how to manage their emotions when things happen. I deducted one star for miscommunication. There is only 1 story with 8 different scenarios. Also, the pages are so confusing. It tells you to turn back to a previous page after you have made your choice on multiple questions. Therefore, it can be difficult to review what happened when Danny made poor choices because it can be difficult to find those pages! Overall, I am happy with my purchase and would buy more if available! If this was helpful, please click “helpful” so others can see. Thank you.

Beautiful way to show children the power of choice and the consequences, good and bad, to such.

This is a great book about having the power to make choices. It gives you a variety of choices to make, and the consequences for the choices that you make. My granddaughter loves to choose the naughty choices, which I think is hilarious. Great book pictures are colorful. It’s easy to understand.

Muy buena opción para ayudarles a los niños a tomar decisiones y considerar las consecuencias

Fun book! With the various endings/options, it keeps the kids engaged and wanting to see the various permutations of the story

I love these books. I have a full of character 6 year old boy and this is our second of the What Should Danny Do books. He absolutely loves them and enjoys reading the good and bad choices and navigating us around the book as its not a simple timeline and I think this adds to the attraction for him. It doesn't escape me that its very simplistic and dare I say contrived, nonetheless I find it helpful in spelling out positive behaviours and the consequences of less positive behaviours in different and very relatable scenarios. Particularly as he can get overexcited and forget sometimes. Its an American book but its easy to change soccer to football and Mom to Mum etc. As he gets older he'll have plenty of opportunites to learn that life is more nuanced but in the meantime this has been helpful.

My Grade One class loved this book! Great for the decision making strand of Health! The illustrations and content are great and relatable. Would 100% recommend.

It's well written, good content.
