Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Less Stress
Ben Hubbard · 2021
65/100
👎 Skip It
At 32 pages this is more a visual primer than a real book on stress management, but for its intended audience of tweens and classroom use it does that job honestly and well. Ben Hubbard's prolific track record in educational non-fiction means the content is competent and age-calibrated even if it cannot go deep. A useful library shelf item for schools; less essential as a personal purchase.
