Genre: Contemporary Realistic Fiction Reading Level: Primary (2-3) This book was cute and had a lot of moral stories in it. I did not feel like it was very unique though which bothered me. Also I did not feel like a student would go grab this book from my library. I do feel like it is a good teacher tool if you are having problems with behavior in your classroom.
I thought this book had good intentions, but it rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. Maybe because it extremely simplified right and wrong, when in reality right and wrong is not always that way. I was taught this way and many that I know were as well and it didn't stop me from making wrong decisions. I'm sure it could do some good though. It was an okay book.
