5.0 out of 5 stars Great for kicking off a food drive with elementary students, November 30, 2009

This review is from: Dewey Doo-it Feeds a Friend: A Musical Storybook Inspired by Feed The Children (Hardcover)

As an elementary school counselor, I have used this book in guidance lessons for third graders. I also used those same guidance lessons to kick off a "canned food drive" our school had for a local charitable food pantry. I read the book to the students, then we discussed how Dewey and his friends worked together to gather food for someone who needed it. Not only did the students enjoy the story as well as the pictures, but they were able to understand the important meaning of the book. Can't wait to read the other Dewey books!

5.0 out of 5 stars An example for civic responsibility, April 12, 2004

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dewey Doo-It Feeds a Friend (Hardcover)

Dewey Doo-it Feeds A Friend is a delightful children's story about helping others, collaboratively written by Brahm Wenger and Alan Green in homage of a real-life woman named Bea Gaddy -- who would collect food from small neighborhood grocery stores and used it to feed her family, her neighbors, and others, until she created a chain of helpers to fight hunger on a grand scale. Illustrated by Jean Gillmore, this playful picture book features a courageous and helpful characters that kids can relate as they bring food to a friend in need -- and in doing so, is set an example for civic responsibility. Dewey Doo-it Feeds A Friend is a life-enhancing and compassion-affirming picture book story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dewey Doo-it Books - teaching kindness & compassion, February 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Dewey Doo-It Feeds a Friend (Hardcover)

I love the names of the characters in this book - Dewey Doo-it, Howie Doo-it, Kenya Doo-it, Anita Doo-it and the twins, Woody and Willy Doo-it. But even more, I appreciate the way the cast of ingenious "Doo-its" teaches my kids. This clever story teaches them that although we may be surrounded by troubles and social injustice, there are real life heroes who right the wrongs through good works, creativity, and tireless effort. I am so happy to find a book that tells my kids that they can do it - they can make a difference through their life choices. I recommend "Dewey Doo-it Feeds a Friend", and I plan to buy the remaining three books of the series as they are released in the months ahead. Thank you to "The Helpful Doo-its Project."
