Review: Beetle Bottoms and The Eyes in the Night

Do you love books that are wonderful to look at? How about books that get your children to get outdoors and explore? Well I do! Beetle Bottoms are just the answer if you want your kids to be involved in nature, reading and have some fun. The kind people at Beetle Bottoms sent me their latest book and the kids loved it!  (Read to the bottom as you will get a promo code for a free game with the order of this book)

What are Beetle Bottoms?

Beetle Bottoms are tiny people that live in gardens all over the world. There are a handful of people that have noticed them as they are no bigger than an apple pip.  Why not go outside to see if you can spy any beetle bottoms playing in your backyard.

Beetle Bottoms have books and story play games that encourage fun, reading, exploration, children’s creativity and confidence.  If you are looking for a great gift that kids will adore this is well worth a look. The twins love the books and especially the story play cards

What is Beetle Bottoms and the Eyes in the Night about?

After a swarm of bees lands in her tree, Pip wakes to discover a pair of eyes looking at her. She soon discovers that they belong to a boy called Hummer. This is the first time Pip has met a Beetle Bottom that has different colour skin than herself.  Although shocked and amazed (she did not know there was another lot of Beetle Bottoms that lived in the garden), Pip likes Hummer instantly and they are firm friends.

This book shows acceptance of people, races and cultures. It helps children see the world through others eyes.

The book is so beautifully illustrated and a joy to look at.

Ban Bossy – Empower girls

Is one of your kids or both forthright? Leads and is assertive? Mine are. I am making sure that I don’t say that the kids are bossy but I do make sure to get rid of  bad behaviour when it occurs (or at least try). Being assertive is one thing and leading is great, however being rude and hurtful is not acceptable.

I do agree that we label and tell girls in particular that they are bossier than boys. Do you find this? Did this impact you when you were at school or the workplace? I think this video is a great eye opener. Do you think if you were not told you were bossy your life might have been different? Maybe a CEO? Or a global entrepreneur earning billions? Well you never know right?

Labels matter, encourage girls to lead and let’s ban bossy! What you get told does affect you. Whether you get told you are bossy, stupid or something else. Building up your child is important and the words you say matter. Don’t bring them down build them up.
