This book lets children realize mean words might hurt others feelings, teaches them to think before they speak. I like this book because it is colorful and informative. Great for children 4-8 years of age.

This book has some big words. I would read this to children ages 2 to 6. It has some very important things in it. It teaches children that you get to choose what to say and how to say it. It says that there are helpful words and gives examples of helpful phrases. It also gives examples of hurtful

phrases. It teaches the children things to say after they say negative things that make a person feel bad and makes them feel bad for saying it.

Young kids can use helpful books that demostrate proper ways to use words while still working out strong emotions internally.

I really liked this book because I thought that it taught a very important lesson to kids. It teaches them that their words can be hurtful and they need to think about what they say before they say it, and if they happen to say something hurtful they can apologize. I would use this book as a read

aloud in a kindergarten or first grade classroom. I would most likely present this book during the beginning of the school year so that the students can see what I would expect from them as far as talking to each other. My MT in my kindergarten class always tells her students to "use their words" and I think this book would align really nicely to teach the students how to use their words. Something else I thought was really interesting was in the back of this book there are activities and discussions you can have in the classroom or at home.

This book is a good reminder for both parents and children to watch what they say. I think includes many helpful ideas for dealing with anger and temper tantrums.

This book is about children finding the right words to use to each other. They learn that their are words that can hurt our friends and words that can make them better.

As children grow and learn good words they learn hurtful ones too. This story tells how children shouldn't be using words to hurt their friends and to think before they say anything hurtful.
