 The title is perfect--for teachers, libraries, parents, grandparents!! December 3, 2008
L. Kinnaman (Sunny So Cal)
As a mom to a high functioning Asperger's child, this book has been an invaluable tool to teach the often over-looked skills needed in reciprocal relationships. My daughter has even brought it out when my husband and I argued. She relied on it heavily during kindergarden and seemed to benefit greatly. As a school social worker, I also highly recommend this book for all groups of kids as it teaches what is a true friend.
A great teaching tool! September 23, 2008
Dana Lehman (Michigan)
I read this book to my seven year old son and was amazed at the things he was telling me. We had a wonderful conversation on all the topics in this book. It is a great way to show children how to make friends and keep them. Complete with examples.
Good life lessons September 6, 2008
A. M. Murphy (Grand Rapids, MI)
This book shows kids through it's illustrations and text how they should act or repond to many situations(some stressful) they will encounter in daily life. Suggestions of what to do or what to say are given for each senario in a cartoon fashion and with subtext for explanation. My daughter for exammple is learning what a "sore loser" means and is trying to modify her behavior to be more like the nice girl in the book. I think both seeing and hearing the positive themes of the book help her retain the lessons.
Could not be better! August 18, 2008
Suzanne A. Thomas (Las Vegas, NV)
"How to Be a Friend" is amazing. It could not be better. Not only is it great for children having difficulties with social skills due to Autism -- it is amazing for every child. It should be on the MUST READ to your child list of every parent. br / br /
Great to discuss with 5 to 9 year olds July 23, 2008
Redsix (Randolph, NJ USA)
This book has been great for an initial read to discuss with my children what a friend is. It continues to be a great reference tool for situations that come up. We pull out the book and read it with our children to remind them what a friend is and how a friend should treat them.
