Ready for a little humor and fun? At least, I hope that describes today's read. The title mixed with the wondrous little girl on the cover promise all of this. Add that this is a music book...meaning that there is a song, which can be played right along with it...and it should be more than just a little entertaining.
But let's open it up and find out!

MY TIDBITS
Mistakes and mishaps are a part of life, and this book takes a silly and enjoyable twist to release the tension that comes with it.
This little girl is a ball of energy and enjoys almost everything she does, but not everything runs smoothly. Little mishaps happen, and instead of growing upset, she sings a silly song. This leads to a book, which listeners can join in on themselves, since it is connected with a song. This is available through the included QR code in the book (or through the website if you want to take a peek first).
The verses are short and describe an every day life situation, which suddenly takes a small turn in an awkward or not-so-great direction. Then, the refrain dives in, and here's where listeners can quickly join in with the funny words.
The book is brightly illustrated with familiar situations and a bubbly girl with a perky attitude. Some situations will make readers cringe and others will make them giggle. Each one is brought across clearly and shows the little girl, while not super happy about each incident, taking it with relaxed style. The text rhymes and flows smoothly, since it's also the lyrics of the song. Still, the book works nicely as a read-aloud. Of course, it also works very well when the song is played with it and lets listeners sing along.
There's a lovely message about taking things in stride and not turning every little incident into a huge problem or depressing moment. So, there's quite a bit of goodness in the pages.
