Editorial Reviews

Review

It can be difficult for young children to grasp abstract concepts. This series has discovered an effective formula accessible to beginning readers. This new series on character values features simple declarative sentences arranged in repetitive patterns. Text is limited to one or two sentences per page, printed in an oversized font. The facing page consists of a color photo of young children engaged in everyday activities that closely align with the printed material. Each book follows the same format. The first statement provides a definition of the value and then subsequent pages show concrete examples. The books are small, and will appeal to their intended audience. Instructional features include tables of contents, glossaries, and indexes that double as word lists. Each selection also provides a further reading list. Researchers are directed to the FactHound Web page, a simplified search engine maintained by the publishers that features screened, age-appropriate links to related sites. The first four titles address patriotism, generosity, tolerance and being polite. Additional topics include caring, cooperation, honesty, patience, respect, and responsibility. Recommended. --Library Media Connection; Vol. 23, No. 6; Page 75, March 2005

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. --School Library Journal; Vol. 49 No. 3; Page 223, March 2003

5.0 out of 5 stars I am cooperative--English and Spanish!, October 19, 2004

This review is from: I Am Cooperative (Pebble Books) (Library Binding)

Part of a series that looks at behaviors such as honesty, patience, and responsibility. Follows the daily activities of a young girl who is helpful at home and school. She also works well with others in small groups. Each left page shows a colorful and good quality photo. Each right page has one or two sentences that explains being cooperative. The English is above the Spanish. For example, "I work with others on a team. Trabajo con los demás en equipo." Ends with the sentiment, "I am cooperative. I do my part." There is a glossary and an index. Karen Woodworth-Roman, Librarian
