Dash and Nikki and The Jellybean Game

5 ⭐️ // Dash and Nikki and the Jellybean Game is a story of a brother and sister who wake up to discover a surprise game, and the prize is their favorite treat - jellybeans. They read the instructions together, and the goal is to have as many jellybeans as possible by dinnertime. Each sibling has a different strategy.

This is the first book I’ve read by the author, and I noticed they also offer finance advice for adults is their other book. It is fitting that the lessons from this story include saving and stewardship along with patience, sharing, working together, and avoiding temptation. This book would be a good introduction into finance for kids, and it does not talk about money or currency.

The illustrations were bright and colorful, and they would easily catch any child’s attention. The individuals pictured include a white, nuclear family.

Even though I currently do not have kids, I would purchase this book for my two nieces who are 4 and 9 years old. Also, I would purchase it for my friends who have children.

It was a really fun read! I read it with my little cousin and she loved it! Would definitely recommend to other kids!

Dash and Nikki and The Jellybean Game is a short, rhyming picture book about a brother and sister challenged by their parents to exercise patience and self-discipline to get increase their reward. Great for teaching kids long-term thinking and impulse control.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND THE PUBLISHER FOR THIS REVIEW COPY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW.

An adorable story that teaches children the importance of sharing and patience.

I love this book not only for siblings, but for friends, cousins, students, etc. I think it shows a beautiful lesson that kids and even adults all need to learn on sharing and teamwork. Two siblings are both challenged with jellybeans, and while there were struggles getting there it shows how teamwork can succeed. The illustrations are captivating for all audiences, along with the message. I enjoyed it so much, I plan to try the challenge with my own kids and then read them the story.
