Three-time Caldecott Honor illustrator Molly Bang helps children solve problems by showing a different -- and highly effective -- approach: I can't do it becomes I can't do it... yet.When Sophie can't solve a math puzzle, she feels upset and inadequate. I CAN'T DO IT she shouts, expressing the frustration all of us feel when we try and fail. Will she ever be smart like her sister? Maybe she isn't smart at all. Luckily Sophie's teacher steps in. What does it mean to be smart? Using current, popular mindset techniques, Sophie's class is taught that we get smarter when we exercise our brains, such as when we work harder at solving a puzzle. Struggling to solve a problem doesn't mean I can't do it Sophie and her classmates just can't do it... yet Readers will cheer when Sophie finally prevails, and at the end of the day, she's confident and optimistic. At home, Sophie uses her new technique to help her dad solve a carpentry puzzle. In this third book about Sophie, Molly Bang again helps children deal with a challenging everyday issue, providing an opening to ask: What do you do when you think, I can't ?

Great for toddler
Format: Board book
This book is repetitive which allows my toddler to understand what the book is about with ease. My toddler has learned so much from this book, and the bilingual aspect is great for our goal!

Great bilingual children's board book
Format: Board book
Our kiddo loves this series of books. We appreciate that they are bilingual, with both English and Spanish on each page. My partner can read the same book one way, while I read it another. All the while, our kiddo can follow along and choose the names and languages they are most comfortable with.

Not as good as the Brown bear brown bear, but my kids love this book
Format: Board book
This book is a sequel to Brown Bear Brown bear and it is a visually appealing book that my kids love. My one complaint is that this book is all about what you hear, but they used many animals that people don't know what sounds they make. I have looked up how flamingos flute on YouTube and this is not a sound I can replicate. Don't make the sounds up either unless everyone who reads to your kids is in on your idea of what zebras sound like. Trust me, your toddler will notice. Aside from that flaw, the book is one my kids ask for again and again and this is in fact my second copy of this book, the first one was loved to death.
