Orly KatzRezensionen

Very nice children's book aimed that I think would be great for helping them identify and recognize their negative emotions. What's really great is that it also shows kids that parents can have these emotions too. I received a free audio book copy from the author through Library thing, and while that was great I was very happy to find the book available on Kindle Unlimited. With children's books the illustrations are such a big part of the book. The illustrations in this book are bright colorful and cheerful - which I think would make the subject matter a bit easier to take for young children.

This really was a good story and I would check this out for my kids and over-read it at home and suggest to kids for pre-K up through first grade! Awesome story and concept and a great lesson.

I got to listen through Audible for this book review and while that was awesome I would rec you by this book because the kids get the effects of the art as well. I know these pictures were just bright and awesome. Plus there is an activity in the back that children would love.

Listen to the audiobook but buy the printed book! And get it for your child as soon as possible. Young ones will love this story!

"Busy Dizzy" is a rhyming book that helps younger children cope with some of the negative feelings that might experience. Often younger children have a hard time understanding and coping with feelings they might experience in social settings. This book uses rhymes to easily help a child understand and deal with those feelings.
I gave this book four stars instead of five stars because the illustrations in my opinion were mundane.

I received this book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this little book. I loved the rhyming, the story and the little lesson at the end. The book, overall was excellent. The illustrations were a disappointment. They were boring, and unexceptional, some of them were repeated, and they actually distracted me from the story. The story and rhyming were so good that I feel this story deserved some wonderful illustrations to go with it (I think that some beautiful watercolor paintings would fit this book well.)

So, I liked this book a lot. The story was cute, the rhyming was good, and the lesson was wonderful, but the pictures were not good.½

I received this book for free via a LibraryThing giveaway, in exchange for an honest review.

It's difficult to review a picture book as an adult, but I did enjoy this one. I read The War of Art by Steven Pressfield last year, and am currently reading Resisting Happiness by Matthew Kelly. Both discuss ways of fighting Resistance. This seems like a child's book for how to combat Resistance. It has cute art and good rhymes. Growing up I always liked books that rhymed. I thought it was odd that the order the children were introduced (David, Sophie and Joe) was not the order that we got the details of their Dizzies (Sophie, David and Joe.) I'm not sure if this is something that would significantly bother young children, but I noticed it.

The only thing that I think could be potentially problematic is the lack of specification between when Dizzies tell you not to do something good (not cry, play with your friends, give a teacher an answer you know) and when you want something bad, and your conscience tells you not to. The teacher describes Dizzies as a voice that tells you not to do something that you want to do, but there will be times when you want to do something bad and your conscience tells you not to.

So in the end, this is a good book to discuss with a child the strange Resistance that we sometimes have to doing something good, but be careful that they don't confuse Dizzies (Resistance) with their conscience.

Dr. Orly has done it again, this time she’s teaching her young readers the true meaning of friendship. And she’s in attempting to accomplish this goal she doesn’t hit her young readers over the head with this lesson nor does she talk down to them either; instead she does it in a wonderful subliminal manner, which they can immediately grasp and understand.

While the princess might have selected the ears, mouth, hands and heart when she asked all the candidates vying to become her friend which is the best part of a person’s body, she already knew what the only answer could possibly be. The princess knew that for a true friendship to exist it can’t be based on a specific aspect [part] of another person it has to be based on their total personae. In the end only one individual, around her age, had been able to give her the answer she was looking for.

When you have a book written in rhyme, it aids in grabbing and keeping her reader’s attention for the book, from the beginning to the end. If you have any doubts regarding this, just think of the Dr. Seuss you read as a child, I know I have. The illustrations in this book are complementing the text quite well.

For helping her readers understand the meaning of friendship I happy to give Ms. Katz 5 STARS for her endeavor here.

This is a very good book. Perfect for little kids who have a hard time finding courage.

A very cute story with very nice pictures.

The book contains:
1. The main story.
2. Parental guidance.
3. A little "workbook" parents/teachers can do with children.

Good for kids who need a little encouragement.

Great First Day Of School Story. I think every child has had a visit from a Busy Dizzy or two at one time or another. In its electronic format this could be an excellent choice for introducing the technology center in a classroom for second or third graders and a read aloud for first and below. I like to have older students visit the little ones and read a first day of school story to them and then tell them how they relate to the story and about their first time in school. This will be a book I will add to that program.

I’ve received a KINDLE Edition from the author through her giveaway on LibraryThing.com and the following is my honest opinion.

As anyone who has had children knows can tell you; trying to communicate to them regarding certain things at their age is at times quite an arduous task, especially when it comes to their being disappointed or discourage. The author, Orly Katz, using her knowledge has done a marvelous in accomplishing precisely that by not trying to hit the child reading this book over the head about not being discouraged or disappointed when something doesn’t go the way you had wanted it to be. More important she hasn’t spoken down to the child either; which would have turned the child off to about what is being said. Instead Ms. Katz has made sure her book speaks to the child at their level, making it easy for them to relate to what they’re reading.

Credit for the success of this book must be given to the book’s translator, who did a marvelous job in keeping her translation to the intent of the book’s original language which had been made harder due to the rhyming element of the book. When you have a rhyming for a book’s the story aids in grabbing and keeping the child’s attention for the book, from the beginning to the end. If you have any doubts regarding this, just think of the Dr. Seuss you read as a child, I know I have.

For helping children in not being disappointed or getting discouraged, this book is getting 5 STARS.

I'm all for books that are interactive when it comes to helping us change our way of thinking about a situation, in order to change the outcome of that situation. Dr. Katz book for Junior High School youth, parents and teachers is designed to do just that, and it is invaluable not only to the kids but also for the adults going through this time of emotional, hormonal and physical change with same-said youth. When my daughter was going through these stages of her life, I had to get up daily and remind myself that this was her life experience and a time of constant change. Sometimes I forgot. I don't know if I did the best job guiding HER through that understanding as well!

The way this interactive book is set up, it brings what we consider in our minds to be obvious to the surface and walks through the work that allows an understanding of how to create a positive atmosphere and outlook for self. Any of us know that being positive and thinking positive draws positivity towards us! Conveying that to a teenager is a whole different ball game!

I am going to help my 10-year-old son work his way through this book when he is approaching Junior high. I suggest it to any parent or educator who is preparing the way for kids in that age-range.

This is a great book for all children. I am soon going to be a teacher and received the Spanish version of the book. This paired with the English version would be a great way to help the children who's second language is English make the connections about self talk. Encouragement always goes further than negativity.

Busy Dizzy a colorful book for children that addresses the negative voices of our conscience. It gives a name to the little nagging voices that hold children back or get them into trouble. It offers advice for children and parents about how to chase away the dizzies that cause confusion. It could a helpful read for a child who needs to quiet his/her conscience.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great book that my children and I enjoyed. The illustrations are great and the kids love them. Looking forward to reading other books from the author.

This is a delightful story for children and parents about the sneaky dangers that negative self-talk employs. The dangers can be far-reaching, if not arrested by positive themes. The Busy Dizzies represent the rascally thoughts that whittle away at our self-worth. Dr Orly has the "cure." Charming book with a positive message--what's not to like?

Busy Dizzy (A Motivational Bedtime Story for Children
by Dr Orly Katz

Buzy Dizzy by Dr Orly Katz reads like a favorite bedtime story should, very lyrical and pleasant to read and to hear. The illustrations are in beautiful, bold colors. The basic concept of enpowering choldren to turn negative thoughts offf or overpower them with what you really believe about yourself is a presented in a manner children can understand. Intially examples are given such as fear of losing or of being made fun of if says a wrong answer aloud.
The book ends with a fun song that children can easily pick up on and parents can use for reinforcing concept as they have teachable moments. This material is clearly something children will enjoy. in doing so, Dr. Katz has provided an insightful and thoughtful way for them to express themselves.
I have two concerns with book. It is presented as a bedtime story. This is not a ease me off to sleep book - it ends in a cheerful.song. It also has great follow-up material immediately following the story. With a child'a attention span I don't see reading at night and waiting later to present material. That could be worked around with a change in reading time or reading again before activities. The biggest obstacle is the way the Busy Dizzys are presented. What the children see are colorful monsters that whisper in their ear. This would frighten some children, especially at bedtime.
Dr. Katz' writing style is fun to read. Her knowledge of material and ability to cast it in a child's terms is to be commended. Overall this is an excellent book.
Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The focus of the story is to provide children with coping mechanisms for their insecurities. It is a nice colourful book for parents to share with their children but I'm not sure I would read it as a bedtime story. The busy dizzies are depicted as little monsters that whisper in your ear and I know that some of the children in my class would be scared by this concept.

Banishing Your Inner Bumbling Bernice

(Full disclosure: I received an electronic copy of this book for review through Library Thing's Member Giveaway program.)

Negative Nellies and Nervous Nancies. Shy Stevens, even! Young and old, we all have them: the negative voices in our heads that tell us what we can and cannot do; that doom us to failure or - worse still - dissuade us from even trying.

With Busy Dizzy, Dr. Orly Katz provides parents, guardians, and educators with a tool to help children ward off these unhelpful, bothersome thoughts. The first forty pages comprise a full-color, illustrated picture book that, through simple, rhyming verse, teaches children to identify and defeat their inner Busy Dizzies. This is followed by ten pages of activities and exercises to help kids (and adults!) get the most out of the book.

The artwork is serviceable, but could use a little work; otherwise, Busy Dizzy is a fun little book that adults can use to help children bolster their self-esteem and overcome self-doubt. I also appreciate that the illustrator(s) included at least one little boy of color in the classroom.

Since it's heavy on color and illustrations, Busy Dizzy looks best on an iPad or PC, but is readable on a Kindle as well.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a great tool to give to your teenager. We as parents are always giving them pep talks and telling them to think positively and with this book and the exercises the kids can do just that! I gave this to my teen and he liked the way it was written, he said he could understand it all and it made a lot of sense.

A great short book to help teens deal with some aspects of school. It misses some aspects such as kids now have to deal with the threat of guns and violence. But on the positive note kids it can motivate kids on keeping a journal and believing in themselves.

Small manual to help adolescents overcome the high school more or less unscathed becoming more aware, optimistic and above all to overcome the complex of inferiority that at this age are almost "mandatory."

Piccolo manuale per aiutare gli adolescenti a superare le scuole superiori piú o meno indenni diventando piú consapevoli, ottimisti e sopratutto superare i complessi di inferioritá che a questa etá sono quasi "obbligatori".

THANKS TO LIBRARYTHING AND ORLY KATZ FOR THE PREVIEW!
