Making Friends (Playgrounds)

Four stories dramatize kids' experiences, using language easy enough for beginning readers. Here are problems children often encounter when first starting school -- and here too is the way each problem can be solved. Story treatment is light, and full-color illustrations on every page are bright and attractive. In Being Bullied, it seems that there's a bully in every playground, but children soon learn to cope. Feeling Left Out tells how children are sometimes neglected by playmates -- but also how they can turn the situation around. Making Friends shows how shy or sensitive children can overcome their problem by making friends. An important step in growing up is taught in Playing the Game. Kids learn rules and cooperation -- and have fun too!Petty, Kate is the author of 'Making Friends (Playgrounds)' with ISBN 9780613877336 and ISBN 0613877330.
