Maddi's Fridge Hardcover – Picture Book, September 1, 2014

I used this book with a variety of ages, three-year-old through upper elementary to combine with other activities that had to do with food insecurity and homelessness. All ages were engaged by the story about two friends one that had plenty of food and one that had an empty fridge. It also talked about what a promise means. It is very well written and illustrated, and some good humor moments for discussion “ would raw eggs be good to take to school for lunch?” Loved it!

Lovely message, very readable and adorable drawings. My students respond to the message. I'll be using this book a lot with my elementary school students.

Beautiful book and beautiful story and amazingly said. Kids really enjoyed reading and we had a good conversation on how to help everyone.

This is a perfect book for Thanksgiving or for showing character traits. I received the book library bound but it had stamps of a previous Library having ownership. The book was essentially used. Not totally disappointed but just deceived.

This book has created a lot of great conversation and questions from my 4 year old. we were able to discuss many different situations and realities of some families, in an age appropriate manner.

Por su cumpleaños me pidió que se lo regale lo vio en un video que hizo que se enamore de la historia el ama los libros y por lo tanto mi hijo eligió tenerlo físicamente .

Very age appropriate to showkids a different point if view with lives of orhers.

Loved this book and if you are teaching your students compassion, this is the book for you.

Brilliant book. The story is also really nice about 2 girls growing up in a very urban setting, and how overcoming obstacles and shame makes their friendship even stronger. I had a few inspired discussions with my son (6) about food poverty as well as healthy eating - seems like a bit of luxury thing after you read the book but it has also meant that burritos have now been added to our menu. Honestly, it's a great book in every way, the illustrations are also really nice, and there's a sense of humour throughout that really resonates with kids. I'd give 6 stars happily if that was possible.

Wanted a book to help the children understand how blessed we are to have food in our fride/cupboards and that not everyone is so lucky. Also in the hope that we can share some of our food with others in need.This book certainly made them think and understand that not everyone can afford essentials like food/drink.

perfect for us for talking about values, food waste, helping others, and what it means to be poor. I had to read the book by myself at first, so not to get too emotional when reading it with my 5 year old.

Leaves behind a good message for young kids to help the needys

Lovely book. Highly recommend to all kids and their best friends. My 6 year old son and I loved it.
