I had endless fun reading this with my grandchildren, over and over.

What an amazing book! "What Should Danny Do" is a choose your own adventure book that empowers children (and adults) to see the consequences of their own actions. Flipping back and forth between scenarios open the discussion for the kids to see how Danny's day would change based on the decisions he makes. Should he throw a tantrum for not getting the plate that he wants for breakfast or should he let it go and learn to share. Each situation is relevant to real life examples and drives the point home that our children have the ability to change their life. This is an ideal book for parents, teachers, and anybody who takes care of kids. Read it together or on your own. The story line concept is so cool and the illustrations are phenomenal.

I loved the first What Should Danny Do book, but this one teaches some values I don't agree with.
-Danny's friend pressures him to do something he thinks is scary. Giving into the peer pressure is the RIGHT answer! I get it that the author wants to encourage kids to do things that are scary, but it should be an internal battle, not a peer pressure situation.
-In a race someone trips and falls. The best thing to do is stop the race and help him. This is part of the excessive niceness-to-personal-detriment encouraged in our current culture which I can't stand.
Super sad about these things. Hope the author does more of these books but has values with which I agree....

A fun book with lots of useful lessons for kids.
It's great to let kids explore all the different options that their choices can guide Danny's day in.
Just the idea that some key choices and decisions impact later consequences is nicely made explicit for kids and helps develop meta-cognitive abilities like self-reflection, empathy, learning from examining our own behaviour and self-control.
My 3 yr old loves it, even though there are many little details he doesn't get yet.

[E & E’s Mama · Rating 5 out of 5]

We love the original Danny book and loved this one too.the reader helps Danny make choices throughout his day, either wise or unwise, and the results help a child better understand how to use their “power to choose” well. So creative and all nine possible endings are great. Long, so probably best for preschool and up. We only read 1-2 of the stories at a time at 3.5 years old
