There’s Nothing To Do! by Dev Petty - OPTIONAL

Petty, Dev There’s Nothing To Do! PICTURE BOOK.  Illustrated by Mike Boldt.  Doubleday (Random), 2017.  $17.

Frog is bored and no one can suggest anything that can cure it.  Then he finally listens to another frog and finds a way to pass the day. 

While think this might be a book about mindfulness, and no matter how cute the pictures are, it doesn’t quite work.  First of all, several other animals suggest the same type of thing that the final frog does.  Why he finally listens to another frog, I d o not understand.  Secondly, if this book was supposed to teach mindfulness, that part is actually so short, that I don’t think anyone would learn mindfulness from reading it.
