In School

Brief stories describe classroom friendships, the importance of silence when the teacher is giving a lesson, the friendly way for borrowing and sharing storybooks, picking up toys after playtime, and other typical school situations. Several classroom games are suggested as activities for creative learning and play. The bright color illustrations on every page of How We Should Behave Books will appeal to younger boys and girls, while the easy to understand stories teach them fundamental rules of good behavior. The brief stories dramatize typical events in children's lives, showing kids as they interact with other children, with teachers, and with other adults. Beginning readers see boys and girls who are very much like themselves, as they make mistakes, have small accidents, then discover the best ways to correct their errors, avoid mishaps, and feel good about themselves while they have fun. Each book suggests appropriate activities and offers guidelines for moms and dads.
