Good Natured Nina the Nervous Gnat

This book not only teaches good and bad character traits, but does it with a touch of humor. As a Media Specialist, I feel it is very important to instill and nurture good character traits in our children. What better way to illustrate these values than with a great book? Good Natured Nina the Nervous Gnat will definitely be on the Accelerated Reader list soon!

"Nina" Gets A Thumbs-Up From Parents

If you're expecting a sophisticated children's book, this isn't the book for you. But if you want a simple, fun book that isn't over your child's head, "Good Natured Nina The Nervous Gnat" is a must.In this day of politically-correct children's literature, it's refreshing to find an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand children's book that passes the ultimate test--the "kid" test.The book includes valuable lessons on good and bad character traits, brought to life by Nina's friends who exhibit those traits. Nina invites children to pick out her friends who exhibit bad traits, which make her nervous.My three boys--ages 8, 5, and 18 months all love it. In fact, it's rare that we get to play anything other than the "Nina" tape in our car. They have every word memorized, which, of course, means they have each of the character traits memorized.It's cute, concise, and professionally written and illustrated. My wife is a 5th Grade teacher at nationally-recognized Blue Ribbon school and is equally enthusiastic about the book. We highly recommend it.
