My Review
It is very common for young children to experience failure and frustration when they start a new sport or learn something new in general. A positive attitude will likely encourage them to keep trying and practicing, which will in turn boost their confidence as they make improvements. In Two Little Golfers Being Positive, Alice and Izzy represent two contrasting types of kids, those who keep feeding themselves with negative thoughts like 'This is too hard' or 'I'm not good at this', and those who stay positive and believe that they will do better next time around. It is nice to see how Alice became more positive with the help of Coach Jenn and her fellow golfer Izzy, and how big of a difference her change of attitude made for her performance in golfing.
The story is very easy to follow and understand, while its message is clear and compelling. It shows how a positive attitude and perseverance can lead to success and happiness. Besides, the book would be a particularly fun and informative read for those who are interested in golfing, as it introduces the terminology and basic rules of the game. The illustrations are colorful and realistic, with some cute little creatures in the background. I'd recommend this book to all young readers, whether or not they are into sports.
