This book is highly rated and i love the message it conveys. But designs throughout the book are too abstract for 3-5 years old in my opinion.
My 29mo old doesn't really engage with it because it is not realistic and is also hard for me to read as it's too and hard to explain what it means. There may be other books with bigger messages but with simple designs so the kid can at least interact with the images but not in this case as i said they are too abstract.
There is a page about fun and it depicts a circus with elephants wearing roller blades and holding people up - that's pretty sad and doesn't convey the true message of exploiting animals for fun is actually cruel and shouldn't be encouraged - i found this part really sad.
I would recommend this book for over 6 year old kids perhaps those who have started school and are about to begin their life journey and experience disappointment, failure, success etc

Unashamed optimism leaps out from almost every page
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2019
Quite simply, this is a fantastic book, with exclamation marks galore!!! It makes me smile. It inspires a positive mental attitude. It makes me want to grab the nearest child (preferably one of my own), sit them down and impart the words of advice held within. The unashamed optimism leaps out from almost every page as the story follows a little boy in a yellow onesie on his journey through many weird and brightly-coloured places. I like to think of it as the first child-friendly self-help book, full to the brim with positive messages.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2019
However, if like me you are more of a realist than an optimist, you will particularly like the notes of caution and realism peppered amongst the positivity. My favourites: 'Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.' And: 'Step with care and great tact and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act.'
