Product Description
In this clever and literal play on words, OK is turned on its side, upside down, and right side up to show that being OK can really be quite great. Whether OK personifies an OK skipper, an OK climber, an OK lightning bug catcher, or an OK whatever there is to experience, ok is an OK place to be. And being OK just may lead to the discovery of what makes one great. With spare yet comforting illustrations and text, Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld celebrate the real skills and talents children possess, encouraging and empowering them to discover their own individual strengths and personalities. All ages

 Frustrating... March 23, 2008
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book kind of frustrated me. It lists a ton of things the narrator isn't good at, and then insists that it's okay that said narrator isn't good at anything, and will eventually find *something* at which s/he is good.
Kids are good at lots of things, not just one, and they should try to excel at things they're interested in. These are fun things! They should worry more about whether they are having fun than how "good" they are at it. I understand that not everyone is going to be great at everything, but they should still have fun and try, and every child is wonderful at lots of things!

This is a fabulous book for preschoolers--it introduces the letters O and K and gets across the message that you don't have to be perfect at everything to feel "ok".

The OK Book is great! I have shared it with my classes at school, and the children love it, too. We are all OK, not perfect, but willing to try our best. Good example for children and a good conversation starter.
Clever book and good for a beginner reader September 22, 2007

This is a simple yet clever book using the word OK to be the character and a word and teach a lesson. My son who is in first grade reads it.
Great for my "perfectionist" kiddo! July 8, 2007

This book was a wonderful surprise for us. While I hadn't heard much about it, I thought it could be a helpful book for our four-year-old who lives with Asperger's Syndrome and has some real perfectionist-driven tendencies, so I ordered it with a slew of other books.
We love to read the simple, powerful text together. And, on his own, our son has begun to draw his own "OK" character when we're using sidewalk chalk!
I would recommend this book to anyone with a young child, especially a child who can be overly self-critical.
