Confessions of a Book Addict: Blog Tour and Giveaway: Dude. Be Nice

I love picture books that convey important messages to children, especially when they bring a touch of laughter along with them. This is true for the debut picture book Dude. Be Nice by Sarah Scheerger, illustrated by Brent and Jamie Camalich. I truly appreciate a book that not only reminds kids to be nice but also encourages them to reflect on what it means to be kind and how best to help others.

Publisher’s Book Summary: "Meet Dude, the nicest Dude in town! Or so he thinks . . .

One day, Dude decides that he wants to do nice things for his friends and neighbors all day long. But Dude isn’t exactly attentive and tends to forget the most crucial part of helping people: asking first. So when Dude unravels a sweater, frees some dogs, and ruins an ice cream social, he needs to reckon with his own niceness: is it really nice if he wasn’t that helpful? Can Dude and his best friend Fizz save the day before Dude makes too big of a mess?

With hilarious text from Sarah Scheerger and gorgeous illustrations by debut children’s book artist Alex MacNaughton, Dude. Be Nice is a tale of good intentions and not-so-good outcomes, sure to make readers giggle along the way."
