I liked this book because it is silly. This story seems to push readers to think about what a child does and why they suck their thumb and what would make them stop. I think it is so funny that the Grandfather thinks that bribery will work the best using money. The Grandmother used candy and ice cream which would be my first thought at first as well, but that only works for so long.

Mia has a habit of sucking her thumb. Everyone tell her to stop but she wouldn't. They tried all sorts of way to get her to but she won't budge. She couldn't understand what's the problem of her sucking her thumb. Sucking her thumb create comfort and ease her when she's scared or nervous. One day her grandmother got an idea to get her to stop and it was a clever one. Grandma joined the fun and started to suck on her own thumb. Grandma enjoyed it, but Mia thought otherwise. She was embarrassed. She tells her grandmother to stop. She's way to old to be sucking her thumb. And then that's when realizes she's also too old to do that.

Sucking on thumb is one great example that kids tend to do.… (plus d'informations)
