I bought this book after my district recommended all employees read "Who Moved My Cheese?" in preparation for major cuts. I was curious about this version and wondered if it would work to read to the students. I have read it to a few classes, mostly first and second. The story seems to drag on and the students lose interest. It is definitely a quicker version of the story and the points are all there. There are questions at the back to read to kids to brainstorm about deeper meaning. One example, "What do you think is the cheese in your life?" Most kids answered with some type of cheese. I explained that it isn't really talking about cheese but something else that you are always reaching for and very important in your life. I still had only a few who thought of new answers like family or friends. All in all, the kids version is a good, summarized version of the adult book. But to the kids, it is just a story about mice and little people and looking for cheese. The deeper meaning doesn't come through for them.Read full review
Wish I had this book when my kids were younger growing up in the military. Would have been a great book on their level for understanding of our ever changing lives. I purchased for my first grand baby on the way.

I am a school social worker and am working with kids of all ages and I plan on using this book in a group, with the new kids coming in to the (new) school. It has good illustrations for elementary students, as well as for the special education students. I also enjoyed the opportunity of buying an almost brand-new book, at a reasonable price.
My grandson's and my adult clients absolutely loved it!!!!
