FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Susan Hepler
Each title in the useful "Character Education" series explains a quality as a virtue, discusses how it appears in the family, with friends, at school, or in the community, and presents a well-known figure who exemplifies that quality. Five or six sentences per page give the book a spacious look and multicultural faces appear in the photographs. Mahatma Gandhi demonstrates tolerance in his talking with people in India who did not agree with him and a hands-on project has children making puzzles of things they dislike or like and reassembling the pieces to show the class's diversity. Endmatter has "Words to Know" which reviews vocabulary, other information is suggested in a short bibliography and the listing of several websites. An index is also included.
