Average Ratings:

In elementary schools across the country, teachers are expected to provide at least five minutes of character education each day. This book makes it easy to meet that requirement in a meaningful way. It includes 180 character vignettes-five for each of the 36 weeks in the school year-grouped by trait. Each features kids in real-life situations making decisions that reflect their character. Each is short enough to be read aloud; all can be used as starting points for discussion, to support an existing character education program, or as the basis for an independent program. An excellent tool for the classroom or the character-conscious home.

Summary: Character Building Review
Comment: This book is an excellent guide in provoking thought in my child. The stories target areas that encourage openness and reveal to me what she really feels. It provides opportunities to correct and guide her in what is spriritually right and wrong.

Customer Rating:
Summary: See for yourself
Comment: I am very impressed with this book. It not only gives you very important character building stories, it also gives you a story for every single day of the typical school year. My students enjoy hearing the stories and love sharing their own stories with their classmates. I strongly recommend this book to parents and other teachers.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Good intentions... but need more.
Comment: I was very excited to order this book. I couldn't wait to read stories to my 5 and 7-year old that focused on character traits. Problem is, the stories are way too short. Most are 1/2 - 3/4 of one page. Both children complained that the stories are not long enough. Honestly, I would be better off looking for picture books at the library that focus on one character trait, but have a more involved story that the children really get into. Great intentions, but falls short.

Summary: Character Building
Comment: This book is just what I was looking for to jumpstart conversations about good character in my reading program, grades one through five. The stories are short, leaving plenty of time for discussion or written reflection.
