    Book Series Review of Little Laugh and Learn
    The Children’s Book Review

    What to Expect: self-help, friendship, social/emotional skills

    Described by the publishers as “self-help, kid-style!”, the Little Laugh and Learn series use humor, story-telling, and a kid-centric point of view to help emergent readers navigate social and emotional challenges. 

    It can be hard to navigate all the ups and downs of being a kid. Sometimes, other kids are mean; they call names or say hurtful things. Sometimes, even when other kids are not trying to be mean or hurtful, making friends is tricky anyway. How do you know who to be friends with? How can you let other kids know you want to be friends? How can you help them want to be friends with you?

    Luckily, there are some quick and easy tips and tricks you can learn to help you navigate these tricky peer-group situations. From ten powerful tools to help you keep your cool when others are teasing you to top tips for making friends, the Little Laugh and Learn series has the advice you need to ace being a kid among kids.

    The first two books in the series, Make a Friend, Be a Friend and Ease the Tease, focus on relationship building, teaching readers practical tools for coping with negative peer situations and building and maintaining new friendships. Bullet points and font changes, as well as a glossary at the end of each book, help make the text accessible to young readers, while Steve Mark’s blocky, comic-style illustrations add humor and model emotions and techniques. The books are also divided into chapters, with a table of contents at the beginning, introducing readers to typical book formatting and helping familiarize them with book navigation.

    The Little Laugh and Learn series offers a fun and accessible way for kids to learn coping skills.
