Editorial Reviews

Gr 1–2—This series teaches early readers how to be good people. Each title begins with a description of the behavior covered in the book, such as what it means to be fair and why it is important to take turns or apologize. The remainder of the book is filled with examples of children practicing the behavior followed by a full-page image. This could be two young girls splitting money they earned selling lemonade, a class taking turns on a slide, or a brother apologizing for spilling water and helping to clean it up. Back matter includes a glossary, resources, and index. VERDICT This series does not cover any new ground but it clearly addresses common problematic behaviors. Recommended for libraries that need coverage on this topic.
