Customer Reviews

The OK Book

This is a fabulous book for preschoolers--it introduces the letters O and K and gets across the message that you don't have to be perfect at everything to feel "ok".

The OK Book

The OK Book is great! I have shared it with my classes at school, and the children love it, too. We are all OK, not perfect, but willing to try our best. Good example for children and a good conversation starter.

Clever book and good for a beginner reader

This is a simple yet clever book using the word OK to be the character and a word and teach a lesson. My son who is in first grade reads it.

Great for my "perfectionist" kiddo!

This book was a wonderful surprise for us. While I hadn't heard much about it, I thought it could be a helpful book for our four-year-old who lives with Asperger's Syndrome and has some real perfectionist-driven tendencies, so I ordered it with a slew of other books. We love to read the simple, powerful text together. And, on his own, our son has begun to draw his own "OK" character when we're using sidewalk chalk! I would recommend this book to anyone with a young child, especially a child who can be overly self-critical.

Great Book, Great Message

What a charming book. The whimsy and wisdom will appeal to both kids and adults. And the message is a timely one in a day and age where kids are pushed to be great at all kinds of things: it's ok to be ok, and eventually you'll find something you're excellent at. Plus the book had a neat little ending that wrapped everything up. Buy 2 and give one to a friend's child. Highly recommended.
