[Book Review] Get Up, Lil Peter. Get up!, [Author] Tasche Laine






A wonderful story about resilience, which will help young readers develop the necessary skills to face life’s challenges. Lil Peter inspires children to handle frustration in a healthy manner, while his grandpa is about to offer his own lessons for readers to remember.


My opinion:


This was such a wonderful read, thoroughly enjoyed by my five-year-old! Lil Peter was already a favorite in our home, so we were happy to discover another story with him. This time, Lil Peter learns how to express his feelings and handle the difficult moments of life, with a bit of help from his grandpa. The story is heartwarming and inspiring, and my little bookworm wanted to read it, repeatedly.


As a mom, I am always on the lookout for books that teach my daughter how to become resilient. I believe this book should be a part of every child’s home library, as well as the other books in the series. As parents, we often have a hard time teaching children how to get back up after a difficult moment. The sweet story of Lil Peter and grandpa is perfect for such lessons, and the perfect example of how important grit actually is. The value of the book lies in the being able to show children they can grow from their mistakes.


While reading this story to my daughter, I had the opportunity to talk to her about her own mistakes and how she can learn from them. She felt safe to explore various mishaps and I think only great stories can lead to such discussions. The key takeaways from the book are resilience, acceptance, and love. As for the relationship between Peter and his grandpa, I thought this was just lovely. Grandpa never ceases to highlight the value of resilience, encouraging Lil Peter to learn and keep growing. The story is accompanied by wonderful illustrations, which are darling.


Verdict:


My daughter loved the story and it made me happy to see how many wonderful lessons she learned from it. The book is wonderfully written, and the beautiful illustrations bring the story to life, bringing kids even closer to the character of Lil Peter. We can’t wait to check out the other books in the series, they are just as amazing!
