This is from an advance review copy for which I thank the publisher.

After the bad experience I had with a companion book in the "Bright Start" series, I really thought this one was misnamed. Bright start is exactly the opposite of what I had, and this volume was no better: there was an appallingly long opening time for the book to even come up on the screen at all, and then a comprehensive inability to swipe from the cover to page one. As before, this was this was on a new iPad using Adobe's Digital Editions reader.

I'd beee looking forward to this having been sick myself a couple of weekends ago, but after my experience with the companion volume, I was not about to waste any time on this, so after trying to swipe to page one several times with no effect, I DNF'd this one just as I had done with the companion volume. I cannot commend a book, clearly designed for a print version, and to which zero thought has quite evidently been given for the electronic version. It's impossible to read, much less enjoy as an ebook.

Lovely way to talk to young ones about empathy and caring for other, with very cute illustrations giving it a charming feel. Lovely stuff!

Very cute title with great illustrations - a little girl's father has a cold, so she does her best to fill in for him for the day - or at least until he's feeling better.

"Bright Start" - Feel Better Daddy by Nancy Loewen; Hazel Michelle Quintanilla was a sweet little book about a dad who fell sick and his daughter who tried everything she can to make him feel better.
It was simple and easy to read with lovely illustrations However, I found the colours of this book very Bland and boring! it needed more brighter colours for a young child. This book could be so much more and entertaining.

Thank you netgalley for an advance copy.

A sweet story to introduce the concept of empathy to toddlers. I like the simple illustrations. The storyline was easy to follow and my 20 month old enjoyed it.

First off I absolutely love, love, love the illustrations. Black and an orangery-red they have a very retro look. Feel Better Daddy while geared towards the 2-4 age range new readers would do well with the book with the simple sentences. The lesson in the story is empathy and the audience learns through the daughter's actions trying to make her father feel better.

I previously reviewed a story of gratitude with orange. This short board book for 1-3 year olds also from the Bright Start series has the challenging aim to share a story about empathy with a red colour to enhance the excellent drawings. Daddy's nose is red so an ideal time to master this colour.
I would expect a child, like a pet dog, Duke's back, to pick up on things not being quite right.
Depending on their age and career aspirations they might take on the roll of nurse or doctor.
His little girl however takes on the adult roll of being Daddy. "Cooking" for him and enacting his favourite books she reads him. Trying to find something special to do to make Daddy feel better.
Very thoughtful and loving. Understanding and doing everything she can think to make him better.
After a sleep he seens better, nose not red. Relief all round as ne can be her Daddy once more.
Not sure if it is true empathy but still a delightful story and many lessons to learn and talk about.

A sweet book about other people’s feeling of empathy. This book is focused on a child’s dad and feel unwell. It is relatable to a child and aimed at 2-4 years old, a great book for discussion around feelings. Beautiful and clear illustrations. Thank you netgalley for an advance copy.

This story is a cute way to teach very little ones about empathy. I enjoyed the storyline and the creative ways the little girl helped her father feel better.
