How to Behave and Why

By: Munro Leaf
Published by Universe Publishing 2002
Genre: Picture Book

Summary:
How to behave and why. That basicly sums it us for us right there. This book talks about how if you are not Honest, Fair , Strong, and Wise, you will not have any friends and your parents will hate you. The book follows a pattern of three colors: red, white, and black. These colors are accomplanied by stick figures that act out the text. They are very childish and intersting to watch.

Reaction:
If it wasn't obvious, i really didn't like this book. It was very sad to read that through this book our kids learn that if they are not the best, they will be hated. Lots of little stick figures populate the pages with sad faces and loneliness! It was terrible to think a child would read this and be put down by the text.

Potential Problems:
Just that, it puts down the reader for not being perfect. I hope parents would see that this book is intended for good, but it will not do any good.

Recommendations:
I would not recommend this book to anyone.
