In Daisy, Minnie, and the Sugar Plum Kitty by Jessica Azenberg, Daisy is desperate for the role of Sugar Plum Kitty in her ballet school’s production of The Nutcracker, but jealousy takes over when the role goes to her best friend, Minnie. But when her moms intervene, she begins to see that she should be pleased for her friend, not jealous. A dream teaches her that jealousy is destructive, and she also learns that everyone’s dreams can come true, not just one person’s.
Daisy, Minnie, and the Sugar Plum Kitty by Jessica Azenberg is a lovely, heartwarming story accompanied by some beautiful illustrations by Li Liu. Animal-based stories resonate better with children because they are more likely to enjoy them. But this is an educational book, too, teaching children that jealousy can destroy friendships and that true friendship can overcome bumps in the road. It also teaches kids to keep dreaming of what they want to achieve; there’s more than enough space in the world for everyone to achieve what they want. This is the fourth book in the Paws Elementary Series that teaches kids that they can achieve all their dreams if they learn how to face their fears. This wonderful book should be a part of every child’s life – on their own home bookshelves and as part of their school or library reading clubs. The more they read this book, the easier they will understand that negative emotions just get in the way of what they want to do. Highly recommended story for children everywhere.
