Rating  - This book helped change my grand daugher's behavior tremendously
Last year my then six year old grand daughter received this book from Santa because she had some "issues" (lying and stealing) at school.
This year, at seven she is reading this book mostly by herself. We were sitting there and she was reading to me and made the comment, "Gram I like this book cause it makes you think about stuff".
Written in 1946 Munro Leaf goes into why we have the basic social rules that we have and how important it is to try and follow them.
Why it is important to be honest, strong fair and wise.
What's important I noticed is that he was able to break down some of the most important concepts of behaving to the level that a child would understand and accept without being preachy.
This book has helped my grand daughter out tremendously, Munro Leaf was a lot cheaper then a shrink and the book can be used to also help a seven year old read (have them read to you at night now).
I can't brag on this book enough and am now returning to buy Munro Leaf's other books.
The artwork is so so but then again this book wasn't written for an adult, it was written for kids and at least with my grand daughter, this book and it's valuable lessons reached her and changed her behavior on many levels.
This is a 51 page book, but you can read (or have your child read) a little every night.
Thank you Munro Leaf wherever you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating - A MUST HAVE!
Every family should have a copy of this book in their home library, or on their child's bookshelf! Every family member, young and old, should read it, and re-read it. WHY? Because it makes sense! It's about life, and how we need to live and cooperate with one another....it's how we ALL need to behave and why! It's every lesson we need to teach our children in order for them to become good little people, and it's a reminder for all adults out there too. It's A MUST HAVE!
Rating  - too long for 6 and 5 year olds
I think that the lesson is a good one and something that every child needs to know, but its also a little long. My boys didn't have the patience for it. They were ready to go to the next thing after about half of it. I enjoyed it more than the kids.
Rating - MY 6 YR OLD LOVES IT!
The pictures are entertaining and the speaker captures the attention. My daughter is one to please adults, though. If your child is unruly, I'm not sure this book would work very much. A good reinforcer and fodder(sp?) for discussion.
