Honesty

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. Honesty is demonstrated by Abraham Lincoln and his straightforward lawyer ways. A "hands-on" section offers directions for making a lost-and-found box for the classroom. 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.
