Review

​In the second book in the Sea Kids Adventures, What a Bragger!, author Lee Ann Mancini and illustrator Dan Sharp have come together and created yet another beautiful and brightly colored book that kids will absolutely love!  Filled with excellently detailed and brightly colored pictures, this story teaches children that sometimes there is more going on with a person who is being mean than what it seems on the surface.  It also teaches kids to be kind no matter what.  Parents and teachers will enjoy using this story to help children see and come to understand these easily relatable, real-life examples of how to treat others.  This book, as well as the first book in the series, are great teaching tools to help children understand principles and do and become better people.
