SuitabookEl dedito de Kiki
Frances Bragan Valldejuly
- Reading
- Read together and pause when different people offer help. Invite your child to notice which kinds of support seem welcome to Kiki, without needing to relate the story to their own habits.
- Themes
- Changing a habit: Kiki is trying to stop sucking her thumb. Her efforts and attempts by family, friends and a dentist do not succeed before magical help appears. The story presents the habit as something Kiki is trying to change, but the plot account does not establish how the book evaluates that goal.
- Worth knowing
- Kiki is described as trying and failing to stop, while several people try to help. Consider whether this framing feels encouraging or frustrating to your child.
