What Should Danny Do? School Day

"What Should Danny Do?" has quickly become a favorite in our house, and I cannot recommend it enough! It is the perfect blend of engaging storytelling and valuable life lessons. The book is written in a "choose-your-own-adventure" style, allowing my kids to make decisions for Danny and see the direct consequences of his actions. This interactive approach keeps them fully engaged from start to finish. The story revolves around Danny, a "Superhero-in-Training," who faces daily choices. The best part is that it shows how positive choices lead to a better day, while negative ones have natural, non-preachy consequences. It has been such an effective tool for teaching empathy, responsibility, and the "power to choose." My kids absolutely love flipping to the different pages to see what happens next, and it has actually helped them think about their own behavior in real-life situations. The illustrations are vibrant, and the writing is relatable for young children (aged 3-8). If you want a book that is fun, interactive, and teaches character, this is it! We will definitely be buying the rest of the series.

As a children’s therapist, I use this book series regularly in sessions and highly recommend it. The interactive “choice” format keeps kids very engaged and opens up great discussions beyond just choices and consequences, including emotions, problem-solving, perspective-taking, and coping skills. The stories are relatable for young children, and my clients genuinely love them. I ended up ordering every book in the series because they have worked so well in sessions. I also think the price is excellent for a large hardcover book with thick, durable pages that should hold up well over time.

The Danny Book Series is a great Series for children. It was a a choose your path type book and requires the child to make choices(good or bad) which will affect the story outcome. There are two books in this series and both are great and help children to learn that their choice during the day, whether at home or at school or even the park, will have consequences that will determine how their day will be. There is even a cape that you can order to be just like Danny. I wish I’d had these when my kids were small, however, they are great for my grandchildren.

My 7 years old boy loves to read this book. This is his favorite book these days.

Awesome book

4 stars because this book is pretty awesome, but it's just not as good as the first book. It's a bit more preachy, the stories drag on, and there seem to be less options to choose from. For example, last night my son wanted to go back and use his power to choose (I love that) to change the outcome. When we went back we read the same 6 pages full of lots of detail before we got to a place to choose. Also, the repercussion for making the less good choice are almost nothing. Dawdle and miss the bus, Dad drives him to school (which is better). Don't do the science project, play with goo and get sticky (again, my son thought this was better). It's just not as clear, or as funny, as the lessons in the first book. That said, I would still buy this and I think it's a good book. But if you're trying to decide between this book and the first book, go with the first book.

My son loves this book.

This is a great book about having the power to make choices. It gives you a variety of choices to make, and the consequences for the choices that you make. My granddaughter loves to choose the naughty choices, which I think is hilarious. Great book pictures are colorful. It’s easy to understand.

My students love this book! It is great for them to talk about making good decisions and what can happen if we make a decision that might not be the best.

Muy buena opción para ayudarles a los niños a tomar decisiones y considerar las consecuencias

Fun book! With the various endings/options, it keeps the kids engaged and wanting to see the various permutations of the story

I love these books. I have a full of character 6 year old boy and this is our second of the What Should Danny Do books. He absolutely loves them and enjoys reading the good and bad choices and navigating us around the book as its not a simple timeline and I think this adds to the attraction for him. It doesn't escape me that its very simplistic and dare I say contrived, nonetheless I find it helpful in spelling out positive behaviours and the consequences of less positive behaviours in different and very relatable scenarios. Particularly as he can get overexcited and forget sometimes. Its an American book but its easy to change soccer to football and Mom to Mum etc. As he gets older he'll have plenty of opportunites to learn that life is more nuanced but in the meantime this has been helpful.

It's well written, good content.
