Book Reviews of Have You Filled a Bucket Today: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids
Book Review: BUY THIS BOOK!!! Spread the word about filling your bucket ... before you kick the bucket.
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend of mine mentioned seeing Carol McCloud speak recently at her church. She told me the basic idea of her bucket filling philosophy and I was hooked. I make my living as a corporate entertainer and motivational speaker for corporate events. Corporations hire me to entertain and motivate their employees. I'm thrilled when I see a book like this that gets the message out to young children. If they take Carol's message throughout their life I think the world won't need to hire people like myself to motivate them. They'll already have their buckets full and be motivating themselves and others along the way! There goes my job in 20 years!!!!
After ordering this book I sat my children down and read it to them. The wonderful illustrations by David Messing drew them right in, along with Carol's wonderful story / lesson. It's a story but so much more it teaches them to care for others and do the right thing. It quickly registered with my kids. You could almost see their brains working as the bucket theory kicked in. It's not religious based and there isn't a hidden agenda. It's a feel good, do good, be good kinda book!!! :) We've had this book in our home for a week or so now and my kids keep asking me to read it to them. They "get it" and are being great little bucket fillers. Sure beats the "Santa is watching you. You better be GOOD!" ploy we've been trying for years!
I've already talked to the principal at my children's school and we hope to have Carol give a presentation there. Think the entire school would do leaps and bounds better if we had everyone trying to fill their buckets.
Thanks Carol for putting out a wonderful book.
