You may have seen the recent social media post from Sam about taking a social media break. It’s time for a Daddy and little one takeover to review the recent book we were sent. The Giant at Number Two – book review – Mummy Conquering Anxiety.

We are very thankful for such a supportive Mummy & wife. This blog and her other blogs are very special to her and it’s something she thrives on doing in her spare time.

The Giant at Number Two – book review – Mummy Conquering Anxiety. Shall we get on with the review?
Reviewing the book
My little girl loves to read a book. Mummy is better at it, but when asked, I love to read a book with her before bed, and this one was great to read.
Wearing a mask to hide the real us
Sam has written in the recent book reviews how these themes resonate with our family. It is important to post honest content that other people can relate this. After all, this is how the blog Mummy Conquering Anxiety was born.
Here are some of the snippets from the recent book reviews:

How the themes in the book relate to us
The little one is learning about growth, life cycles and everything in nature at school this term. They hatched their butterflies and recently let them go in the school playground. We are reading Monkey Puzzle, by Julia Donaldson and also Jack & The Beanstalk.
My fave parts of the book
My absolute favourite part of the book is the Gran who totally believes everything Daisy-May says and even has at midnight steakout to seek out the giant. She also makes sure he isn’t a bad giant.
Summary
Having read through Sam’s previous boon reviews, these books have a way of resonating with us as a family. For that reason, I would encourage you to check out Tiny Tree Books and the amazing children’s books they publish.
These stories help us to broach difficult topics with our little one in a child-friendly way.
