Customer Reviews

Good

I used this as part of my daughter's homeschool social studies and health curricula. It was a good book and easy to understand.

Relevant

This is the kind of book kids should be reading to build their character for tough times ahead.

Good tool for classroom, scouts, or counselors

I have used this book with my own kids, as a counselor and in the school setting. It is a great tool for getting kids to think about character traits and their own choices and behaviors.

Every Parent Should Get This Book

I have a 7 year old daughter and I decided to purchase this book to see if I could use it to help her learn good character traits and morals without the religious overtone. It has worked out great! It's supposed to be for slightly older kids but I just work with her a little more slowly. I spend time reading the sections to her and after each paragraph, I pause to see if she has any questions. If she does then I spend the time to explain what she doesn't understand. At the end of each section there is an interactive part which encourages further thinking and discussion between us. She loves it now and practically begs me to learn more about good character. What's even better is she is learning and practicing it now. Soon, I'm going to have to get another book like this, which will more than likely be by the same publisher. This is an excellent book. Don't hesitate getting it. It will be one of the best things you, as a parent, will do with your child.

Stand Up for What you Believe

This book shares the stories of students who were not afraid to stand up for their beliefs. It is a wonderful resource.
