Book Reviews of Everyday Graces: Child's Book Of Good Manners (Foundations)

Book Review: What a delightful surprise
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book because it was listed as a supplement to the preschool curriculum we're using (homeschool, Janet's Sonlight - Exploring God's World). When I first looked at it I thought this would bore my 3 year-old to bits but decided to to have a go anyways. We've only read the first dozen anecdotes but we both are in love with this book. I have had to bring some words down to his level and we skipped one that was over his head but overall he gets it. The hook here is the classic entertainment value of each little lesson morsel. My little guy laughed hysterically at the antics of the little boy who had to stand in the corner (I called it time-out), and he listened carefully as the blue fairy tried to get pinnochio to take his medicine and then as I read the importance of taking your medicine without complaining. GREAT stuff, and one of the reasons we homeschool. If the rest of the book holds the same level of value I'll read it through every year as its content and comprehension level is appropriate for any age child - and don't well all need reminding about how to be kind, polite people?
