This book is perfect for building that growth mindset in your kids

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is perfect for building that growth mindset in your kids. I read it to my kindergarten class last January, and they're still calling their drawings or mistakes or brain farts "ish". They loved the book, we all loved the message, and they ask me to read it over and over again. It's good for older kids, too! The world is made of ish things, and sometimes when we don't produce exactly what we want, we just gotta shrug and say it's ish.

A great companion to this book is The Book of Mistakes.

My six year old grandson doesn't sit still for much. I brought this book to him today, but before I even gave it to him, we went to a mega playground, out to lunch and then to the beach for a couple of hours. Then I realized I really wanted to read the book to him before we left. He sat down with me and was very engaged by the story and wasn't restless or impatient. We both loved the sweet story and charming illustrations. The first thing he said was I'm going to ask my mom to read that to me again later. It doesn't get any better than that.

What makes something "good"?

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

Peter Reynolds takes readers on a journey of discovery as it relates to art in the book. But the story is much deeper than art. I love that Peter Reynolds subtly tells the readers that just because someone doesn't like something we created doesn't mean others won't find it amazing.

This is a picture book for kids, but it speaks to anyone in the business of creating.

Love this book!

The perfect accompaniment to Dot Day! This book is great for any age level and sends the message that anything can happen if you put your mind to it. One little dot can become so many things to so many different people. It helps students to learn to expand their thinking, which in turn broadens their horizons.

Love this book

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020

Verified Purchase

I love this book. It has such a good message written so well. Inspiring. My kids like it. The pictures are great. I love that it features non-white characters as only a small amount of children’s books do. I and my family are white, and I am seeking ways such as books and toys to immerse some different ethnicities into their lives as the norm, instead of most things they (and children of any color) read or play with featuring only white characters. Buy this book for sure.

A favorite for my 8-year-old!

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

My daughter came home from school one day and asked for all the Peter Reynolds books because she loved "Ish" so much. I was happy to oblige and scoop this family-favorite one up to add to our collection. It's a really sweet story and illustrations are beautiful. If you could only buy two of his, I would also highly recommend "The Dot".

Adorable!!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2017

It's kind of hard to find books that my son likes, I like, AND can be used in a classroom - this fits all the criteria!!! It's such a cute book! The best part is, it inspires creativity while also showing the mean and nice sides of others- teaching child not only to keep doing art (or living artistically/creatively) but to also not to always listen to those who are negative. I loved it - I have it as an ebook but I will def be buying the hardcover!

Great story, great message

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is an unusual and clever book that has become an instant hit with 4 & 5 year olds. Celebrates the power of doing things your way and not trying to fit someone else's mould of 'perfection'. A pleasure to read and the message seems to have been internalised by 5 year old.

Delivery arrived promptly - earlier than expected timeframe given, so perfect!

As an illustration student I adored this book as soon as I discovered it! It's a unique story for kids and adults alike, giving out a wonderful message that we should all remember in my humble opinion.

Yet another short story/comic from Peter, but made me smile a lot. Very inspirational and true, must have reminder for every aspiring author, but can be used to teach people many things.

A nice story that teaches children that their work doesn’t have to be perfect.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

My daughter read this book in school and asked me to get it for her.

It’s a nice book for children and the moral of the story is that things don’t have to be done perfectly which I liked as children can often get hung up on things when they are learning.

Someday is a better book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

I read the other book called "Someday", thought this one could be equally good.

Somehow I am not impressed, maybe it's not suitable for my reading. The baby seems taking it fine.
