HERE’S OUR REVIEW
“Dash and Nikki and The Jellybean Game” by Anthony C. Delauney is a delightful addition to the acclaimed Kids’ Money Book Series. This charming story follows siblings Dash and Nikki as they embark on a surprising adventure one ordinary morning. Awakened by their alarm clock, the siblings discover a mysterious note alongside a jar filled with their favorite treat—jellybeans.
The plot revolves around a cleverly designed game, where Dash and Nikki learn valuable lessons about patience, sharing, and saving. The game’s rules are simple yet profound: the longer they wait without eating their jellybeans, the more they accumulate. This whimsical setup effectively teaches children the importance of delayed gratification and teamwork.
As the story unfolds, Dash’s initial inclination to hoard all the jellybeans evolves into a heartwarming realization of the joy of helping his sister Nikki. The narrative beautifully captures the essence of sibling dynamics, with moments of competition giving way to cooperation and mutual support. The colorful descriptions and rhythmic storytelling keep young readers engaged, while the underlying message about financial wisdom subtly permeates the tale.
The illustrations complement the text perfectly, bringing the characters and their emotions to life. The vibrant imagery of jellybeans, balloons, and the siblings’ animated expressions add an extra layer of enjoyment for the readers.
