Ganit LevyWhat Should Danny Do? on Vacation! (The Power to Choose)

I could sing about this book from the rooftops. Not only is it one of the most requested books in our home, I love that it teaches safety and natural consequences. Well done to the authors who have a situation in which Danny, the main character loses his family and needs to ask a safe adult to help him. This was a great conversation starter for our kids if this were to ever happen. We have all three books from this series but I think this one is my favorite. It teaches compassion, making healthy decisions and how to manage emotions. This should be a staple in all elementary school aged kids’ homes. The choices make it fun for the kids as they can make “good or not so good” decisions with how to proceed. Even if they choose the “not so good” choice they can see how a possibly poorer outcome can happen. I can’t say this enough- I highly recommend. I hope for a fourth book of this series!

The most educational book around!It teaches your kids to choose wisely in an entertaining way. My kids are so enthusiastic to pick the right choices, and I've noticed an improvement in their behavior since. The book keeps my 4 year old fascinated and my 11 year old interested in reading it over and over again. Highly recommended!

This book is a great way to teach you child about good decisions and bad decisions in a simple way they can understand. When reading we will choose one of the choices and see what happens, then we will go back to the spot where we picked the first choice and then choose the 2nd choice to see what happens - prior to finishing the whole story, just to show how situations change depending on the choices we make. The illustrations are amazing and they help my 3 year old son stay engaged and understand how good decisions make us and others happy, while bad decisions make us and others sad. Great teaching opportunities throughout the book and my son doesn't even realizing he is learning important life skills. I also liked in this book version that some of the choices are neither "good" or "bad," they're just choices. For example the 2 choices presented when Danny is scared to go down the big water slide. It was a great way to show how 2 "neutral" choices can change a situation. I highly recommend this book! I love reading it with my son and talking about the different choices and their consequences.

It is great to have a series of books that encourage decision-making while having fun. A wonderful learning tool.

This book is great. It’s big, very well illistrated, bright colors and simply fun to read the choices and the consequences my grandchild chooses. He loves it. He like to go back and read again with different choices. Great book! I love all the “What would Danny do” books

We love the Danny books. Great social stories for kids.

My son who is an autistic PDAer loves this book and all the books in the series. He reads them over and over and has all the options mapped out. This has been such a positive way to talk about social situations and our reactions and big emotions. Very much a choose your own adventure type book. Love this and the whole series!

It shows that Dani should do the right thing and the reader also gets that same idea

This is a great series for teaching children about natural consequences and that they have the power of choice to choose their path

Yo compré el de What should Danny do? (EN ESPAÑOL) para mi nieto.. No quería leer nada, pero en la escuela le encargaron leer un libro y hacer un resumen. Mi hija le empezó a leer el de Danny (para su tarea) y me sorprendió cuando me dijo que le había interesado y que en las noches pedía que le siguiera leyendo el libro de Danny. Ellos pidieron el de Schools Day y yo el de On Vacation!. Si me gustaría que estos dos últimos los editaran en Español. Siento que es buen aprendizaje para los niños.

We have all 3 "What should Danny do" books and they all are absolutely awesome. Both my kids (aged 8 and 3) love it and love reading them over and over again. Gorgeous illustrations and really nice story lines. The fact that they get to choose the way the story goes is so exciting for both of them. The only disappointment is caused by the fact that there (so far) isnt more of them. Would 100% recommend to anyone with kids.

Wonderful book about making good choices. My kids love making the choices and seeing where the story goes. My kids are ages 5- 11 and they all enjoy it, but mostly my 5-8 year olds

I read this book to by 4 and 5 year olds and it has inspired them to make up "What should Danny do" stories of their own! They can't wait for us to read more!
