I bought this book hoping that it would help with my introducing class rules to my kindergarteners. I am sooo happy that I bought it. It brings a poster which I laminated and keep near my teaching area. I always refer back to it to remind students how Kevin followed a certain rule. I always ask them if they look like Kevin looks on the poster when they are sitting on the rug. They all want to follow the rules just like Kevin does.

The book is a bit pricey for a paperback but it really is worth the money. This a very good classroom management tool that is well worth the price.

Wonderfully written book. I bought it for my 7 yr. old who is starting second grade this year, we read it together to "get ready for big boy school" and he just loves it. It's a quiet time favorite at our house and I now hear him telling his little sister "the rules" and Kevin is our latest household hero!!!

What a great book! Straightfoward while still remaining entertaining and cute, this book makes introducing class rules so much easier. Each year I struggle to invent an effective way to introduce my class rules and make a visual to display. Now the work is done for me!! The illustrations in the poster are identical to the ones in the book, so even your non-readers will be able to "read" the poster that is included with the book for daily rule review. A must have!

This was a GREAT book to use for the first weeks of Kindergarten to teach the students the rules. The pictures and text were at a basic level but gave them the "whats" and "whys" in a way they could relate to. Even after the first weeks my students are still asking to reread the book. I would give it 5 stars but I really wished the pictures on the poster that came with the book were larger. I have it hanging in class as a reminder of our rules. Recommend this book to EVERY Kindergarten and primary teacher!

I am a School Psychologist working in New Jersey. I was looking for a good way to introduce classroom rules in a manner that would appeal to children. After purchasing a copy of "Kevin Knows the Rules", I shared it with several primary teachers in two elementary schools. Everyone who reviewed the book found it delightful and a very unique way to introduce classroom rules and proceedures. All the teachers involved plan to use it early in the 2008-09 school year as a way of establishing a friendly and orderly classroom. Thans to the author for finally providing an appealing and non-threatening way to establish the social context so important in a primary classroom.

A great tool for introducing your class rules. I used it in camp with second graders.. it was a quick, easy way for the kids to see the rules and practice them.

Loved this book. Adorable illustrations with simple learning lessons applied. The teacher for my child's class actually read it and approved!

This is a good book for explaining the rules on the first day of school. I thought it was a little long for kindergarteners.
