The Way I Act

By Steve Metzger

Book Overview

With wacky characters, varied type faces, and vivid colors, this picture book introduces the vocabulary of values with nonjudgmental language. The book depicts a wide variety of character traits--including some not usually attributed to young children--and presents kids with scenarios with which they can identify, including peering at bugs with a magnifying glass, making the bed, and finishing a puzzle. The text cites additional examples that define words such as "curious," "responsible," "persistent," and "capable." The scenarios on each two-page spread let children imagine how they might act in a number of common situations. The Way I Act concludes with a page of suggestions for parents who wish to talk to their children about the difference between feelings and actions and the choices that kids can make in their behavior.
