PreS-Gr 2-These two books show children how they can be cooperative and honest at home and at school. Each spread features a page of text facing a full-page, full-color photo. "Words to Know" sections clarify the meanings of words and help children to understand the concepts. These titles are useful for teaching character values because they offer clear examples and get right to the point.-Gina Powell, Hidenwood Elementary School, Newport News, VA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
