Synopsis
Explains the virtue of responsibility and how readers can practice it at home, in school, in the community, and with each other.
Children's Literature
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. Responsibility is demonstrated by Franklin D. Roosevelt who helped the poor and a "hands-on" section includes directions for planning and executing a class party. 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.
