River was so horrible in mathematics subject. She is hopeless and cant do it. She is got score F for Failed. Lexie make a suggestion to teach her and Teddy was agree. They will take a slowly to begin with and hopefully that will inspired her to give the harder sums another go.

The illustration was quite okay. Its suitable for middle grade read. Kids will get bored since this book not using a short sentences. Its like a story book with long sentence. Can read aloud with kids to make them enthusias with this book. More moral lesson inside. Good one.

as much as i loved this, i don’t know if this is actually for children? there’s so much text which is fine by me but idk

besides that it was beautiful there were beautiful scenes and i really liked this

River and The Tremendous Yellow Wellie Tutors by Emily Dreeling, with illustration by Misha Jovanovic

Thank you NetGalley and Author Emily Dreeling for providing an advanced reader’s copy of the eBook for review considerations.
This review expresses my own personal opinion. I have not been asked to post it by the author, their publishing company or anyone connected with the book or author.
 
This is a children’s book, early to intermediate readers.

This is the final chapter of River and the Tremendous Yellow Wellie trilogy. I’d rather use the word episode, for like a good Netflix or Apple TV+ series, you want more stories of River and her amazing friends the Wellies. For the benefit for my American friends, the Wellie, formally known as the Wellington boot, is a waterproof boot popularized by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.

In this episode, her friends, the Wellies, step forward to help River not only overcome her fear of math, but also her struggle with self-confidence.
I don’t know about you, but like many kids, I struggled with certain subjects, math was one of them and as a kid when you are challenged with a subject that is hard for you to wrap your head around, you can easily fall into self-doubt, lack of confidence in yourself, and want to just give up, which is what happens to River. While kids may look to their parents for help, sometimes a parent can’t get on the level a child like River needs, that’s where good, true, and reliable friends come in.

Dreeling hits another home run here in her wonderful storytelling. The messages are clear throughout the book, adversity will hit you, but faith in yourself can move mountains. Through the Wellies, she shows young readers and parents alike, that if we have good friends like the Wellies, are part of a community, a team, we are never alone. She communicates that friendship and courage are an awesome combination.

As I have stated in other reviews of Ms. Dreeling’s work, the writing is superb, the stories are well crafted and engaging, and this one is no different. Your young reader, as well as yourself, will be drawn into a humorous, imaginative, and instructive way, into a story every kid needs to hear, which is to never give up on yourself and true loyal friends will not give up on you.

The book’s illustrations are done by , who once again does not disappoint. He continues to portray the characters in realistic, bold and imaginative ways. As someone who used to sketch, I wish I had his talent.

I give this book a 5-star rating for the storyline, the positive messages and wonderful illustrations. Can’t wait to read more adventures of River and her friends.

P.S. Living in the Midwest, I have a pair of Wellies that have been with me for over 30 years and just bought a new pair. They will get along nicely and and I know the new addition will be just as a good a friend as my current pair, just like River’s Wellies are to her. :-)

had so much fun reading this book, the story is so adorable and the illustrations were so well done and charming, there’s so many little details in every page that I couldn’t stop but be mesmerized by it all. I will definitely be recommending it! Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this early copy

Good vocabulary words and pictures really help the reader understand the feeling and emotion of the story. there are A LOT of words on pages for a picture book. It might not hold the attention of young readers.

This picture book, while a very cute story, is too wordy for any parent to read to their child. There are too many words on a page that the child will get bored before the parent is done reading the words.

A good book for children about dealing with your emotions and bullying. The art was the perfect style for this story.

Is this already the 3rd book in the Wellies series, where there are the same wellies and the same River, and they again are having their adventures? Yup!
This time River is having a hard time with math. Relatable for most kids, right? And then bullies who tease her because of that. Urgh! Doesn’t sound like much of an adventure at first, but then all the friends (be it wellies, doggies, or umbrellas) embark on a mission to help River. Friendship, more friendship, support and helping hands from everywhere, love and positivity – this is what this book is about.

It's not actually the story that appeals to me with this, nor the writing which is absolutely fine though nothing I felt was anything beyond perfectly readable (if possibly a touch long). What I really appreciated were the genuinely delightful illustrations and genuinely potentially the best combination of font style, positioning, and colourisation that I think I've in an illustrated children's book for a long time, if not possibly an all-time contender. Honestly, this could be the worst-written story of all-time and because it's so damn lovely to look at that I'd tell people to read it anyway. Absolutely fantastic job!

Thank you so much to Rising River Press and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

River is struggling at school being bullied all because she cannot add or subtract no matter how hard she studies. So the wellies group together to find a way to get her to destress and be willing to let them teach her.

Poor River it was so sad she was having a really hard time at school, it was really bringing her down and making her hate herself because she was stuck listening to the bad thoughts and the mean comments from bullies. I’m so happy that her friendly wellies decided on how they were going to trick her to come outside and give her a new perspective and get her relaxed and away from the negative.

The ending of the story with Murphy was mean but really funny, he was defending his River which was so sweet. I liked that the wellies did their best to make sure she was able to learn using them as a physical way of learning and it helped her learn a lot about herself once she reached the top.

This is a great book for helping other children that may be struggling at school with a subject, or being bullied, it will help them be reminded of what’s good about themselves. What they can do to and that if you have the correct teacher you can learn anything. I do recommend this to parents that have kids struggling, it’s also just a really cute book with adorable vibrant illustrations throughout, you can’t not live this series of books they are so precious.

I love cute little story about this girl dealing with her emotions and how being bullied by her classmates and how she trying to get solutions for her problems and filling in beautiful colors palette and good decent type of letter size and cute character of boots 🥾 :)
