Gr 1-3 -Two character-education lessons incorporated into stories. In "Friend", Jacob crashes into Seth's toy dump truck while the two are racing their bikes and Seth is furious. Then, while visiting his grandmother, he accidentally breaks her lamp. She is not angry with him, and he realizes the importance of forgiveness, which leads him to Jacob's house seeking to renew their friendship. In the next book, Jason is asked to mail invitations to his grandmother's birthday party but on his way to the post office, he loses one down the drain grate. When Grandma's best friend does not show up on the day of the party, Jason realizes what happened and runs to Mrs. Wang's and asks her to come. Color cartoons fill the pages and enhance the mood of the texts. Young readers will relate to the simple plots, which will generate discussion." -Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX"

PreS-K. This purposive story in the Way I Act series does a good job of helping children experience what it's like when the shoe is on the other foot. Seth and Jacob are racing on their bikes when Jacob falls and accidentally crushes Seth's favorite toy truck. An unforgiving Seth doesn't accept Jacob's apology. But when Seth breaks a lamp at a dear elderly neighbor's house, he learns what it means to receive forgiveness. There are a few holes in the story: a boy riding around on a two-wheeler seems a bit old to be ready to ruin a friendship over a toy; and does Seth have no concern for Jacob, sprawled on the ground after falling off his bike? That said, the "do unto others" aspect of the story comes across loud and clear, and the large, colorful cartoon-style illustrations can be seen in a crowded classroom--where interesting discussions might begin.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)
