I grew up on these books and absolutely love them! The Help Me Be Good books are great for young children. My children also loved them when they were young.

Such a great book for kids and adults to read together!! Joy Berry has a wonderful way of bringing things to a kids level to help them understand things better. Sometimes as an adult we forget kids see and process the world differently than us.

Beautifully illustrated to help kids pay attention while learning valuable life lessons!

This series is wonderful for any home or classroom! I want them for he community center where I work!! I am also thrilled they are being made available as ebooks!!

A Children's Book About Showing Off is one I have used many times in preschool classes. Almost every year at least one child will strive to be the center of attention by Showing Off. This book is a gentle way to show them how others do not like a 'Show Off'. This is one of my Joy Berry book collection that I have used for many years with young children to teach lessons in behavior improvement and self awareness.

I liked this book because it taught an important lesson. Obviously children are unaware of what they feel when another child is showing off or bragging to them. This book helps the reader understand what is happening, and also shows them how to deal with it. I would likely use this book in a kindergarten classroom because it is very simple but the lesson is worth reading.

Another one, okay, nothing terrible about it except maybe it should address when it is okay to "show off" (i.e., it's okay to be proud off and share your skills -- that's what performers and competitors do; talk about context!)

Joy Berry is the best.

I loved these books as a kid and I still think they’re a brilliant series that can’t be extremely useful own teaching some very difficult lessons.
