Gr 1-3-Be respectful, be honest, listen well, and be courteous. Children learn these staples of good citizenship, but what do they look like in action? This series defines each trait and describes situations where children were respectful by being fair or brave by telling the truth. The author takes the simple command, "Be nice," and lets young readers see how they can accomplish that with simple behavior choices. The font is large, clear, and easy to read; the page backgrounds are a pleasing blue watercolor; and America's diverse population is represented in large photos of children on every other page. A glossary, further reading, and an index are included. VERDICT A recommended resource for helping young children understand kindness.
