Gr 3—5—We rarely think of friendship as a learned skill, but children will benefit from this presentation that defines four simple, yet vital, principles of being a good friend. Listening, showing empathy, thinking before you act, and sticking up for a friend are all briefly introduced and illustrated. Children comment on aspects of friendship, and live-action vignettes show the principles in practice. The multiethnic cast provides a clear, positive approach to an important life skill. The program can be viewed in its entirety or specific segments can be shown. This would be an excellent tool to use in classrooms when issues arise, and would lead naturally into a discussion of interpersonal relationships.—Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary School, Federal Way, WA
