What People Say

As children grow and develop, one of their most difficult tasks is making good choices. Learning how to do this is one of the most important lessons a child will learn. Beautifully written and illustrated, this book gives children the opportunity to see how good choices are made. While enjoying the entertaining pages, children can relate their own decision making to those of the children in the book. What a fun and developmentally appropriate way to learn this important lesson.
