review 1: I loved Amandina Goldeneyes. She is one very talented pooch! But she lacks confidence. And friends. So she decides to put on a show to share her talents. Only - no one comes. But Amandina perseveres. The show must go on - even if there is no audience. Fortunately, a cockroach comes to the rescue! I know - it sounds totally bizarre. But read it. And share it with K and 1st graders to prompt some discussion on not giving up and believing in yourself.
review 2: Grades K-3. Perseverance. I like how this book shows the importance of doing things for your own satisfaction and improvement. Shy Amandina decides to put on a play for her community. She gets everything ready herself-- including the renovation of the theatre, set design, costumes and script-writi... moreng. But the day of the big performance, nobody shows up. Amandina decides to go ahead and perform anyway, much to the joy of passers-by. less
