I received an electronic copy from BooksGoSocial through NetGalley.
The Breadcrumbz take readers through several scenarios where a character fails. They are always supported by friends who help them see that it is okay to fail. The author shares information about why failure is good for the brain and how to make our brains grow even more. After each story is a set of pages for readers to respond directly by answering questions and journaling about their own similar experiences. They can also color and solve puzzles as part of the fun.
Addison makes this topic accessible to low to mid elementary level readers. The scenarios are ones they will connect with and perhaps have already experienced.

The journal is an excellent combination of stories, reflections, and activities. The only thing holding me back from giving it a five star review is the age group this would help. I don't think older students would enjoy the cute Breadcrumbz, but younger student might be intimidated by the amount of blank space for writing. I do think in the hands of the right parent/guidance counselor, the book could be used for different levels effectively.

Wow, I was hooked from the second I was introduced to the breadcrumbs! This workbook is so engaging, funny, and just overall well-done! All of the activities in the book are child-friendly and oh so unique! What a wonderful way to teach children learning through failure!

Charming exercise book and story book, for children of ages 5-8, it might be a bit childish for children older than that. Lovely to have books where there are realistic situations like girls playing a sport, and children having a lot of schoolwork in place! Nice message, lightly delivered with some nice interactive sections.

As the parent of a young boy who was told at his first parent-teacher meeting that he is afraid to make mistakes, this book definitely ignited my interest. I love the concept of teaching that it is ok to fail, it is nothing to be afraid of and that good things and lessons can come from it. I liked the mix of storytelling, journalling and games/activities it contains. I was, however, bemused at the decision to make this for girls only as it could easily be targeted at a unisex audience and the same stories would have relevance (I am a parent to a girl and a boy). I was also not enamoured with the choice of bread-themed characters with bread-shaped faces. Overall, I love to see books like this coming on the market and I love the concept but the choice of characters and gender targeting did not appeal to me.

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend. It's a straight forward book on how to learn from failure. Readers who dislike allegories when discussing these types of events. I also enjoyed the added reflection questions and journal writing activities.

I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was very cute! It’s definitely something I’d read to my children and reccomend to the children’s librarian at the library I work at! Thank you for allowing me to read this!
