K-Gr 1—This series aims to tackle big topics such as being respectful and tolerant of others. A basic definition is provided at the start of each title. In How To Be a Good Citizen, for instance, readers learn that "being a good citizen means working to make your community a better place." Examples include helping others and volunteering. The color photographs depict actions appropriate for young readers to follow and take, such as recycling materials. In How To Be Tolerant, one example features a boy who wants to join two girls in a "girls only" club. They decide to change the rules of their club to allow him to join.
VERDICT A useful series for inspiring character building or teaching social emotional learning.
