It Won't Work would be a wonderful book to read to younger children. It's an interactive book where the listener is asked questions that lead to Jacob solving his problem of building a stable sand castle. This book has pre set questions to answer, which are great for comprehension skills for younger children. The grandpa notices Jacobs problems and does not automatically give him a solution and does not allow his grandson to simply give up without trying all ways.

Saat anak gagal melakukan sesuatu seringkali mereka frustrasi.
Buku ini berisi dua kisah : istana pasir & permainan kelereng. Kisah pertama tentang seorang anak yang frustrasi karena gagal membangun istana pasir, lalu sang kakek membantunya mencari solusi. Kisah kedua tentang seorang anak perempuan yang gagal menyusun permainan dan berusaha mencari sendiri cara memecahkan masalah.
