Pringle and Finn – Buddy’s Book Review

Welcome to Buddy’s Book Review! A review of our favorite children’s books here at The Nest Schools. We thoroughly believe in the power of literature, and we are excited to introduce wonderful new children’s books to our families in hopes that they will expand their own home libraries as we expand our own!  

How will we review and rate each book? Each book will be rated in terms of its likeness to our core values: KINDNESS, WELLNESS, INNOVATION, and FUN. Five beautiful feathers will be given for the core value we think each book best represents. Happy Reading!

From Alix:

“While I have not had the opportunity to share this book in a classroom at my school, I have shared it with my daughter, her kindergarten class, and my nieces. The story was well received by children from ages 5 to 12. The younger children enjoyed the problem-solving aspect of each scenario while the older children took notice of the different types of couples in the story. In addition to promoting kindness and problem solving through teamwork, the story also subtly supports themes of diversity and inclusion, both within the story, and by the author/illustrator who is blind.”
