Summary
A child-friendly format for the classic book on how emotions and behaviors interact
With wacky characters， varied type faces， and vivid colors， this picture book introduces the vocabulary of values with nonjudgmental language。
A wide variety of character traits presents kids with scenarios they can identify with， including curiously peering at bugs with a magnifying glass， bravely splashing into a swimming pool， and playing well with friends。 The scenarios let children imagine how they might act in a number of common situations。
The Way I Act provides parents with guidance on how to talk to their children about the difference between feelings and actions and the choices that kids can make in their behavior。

Sweet book naming different ways to act for different situations。

Why do children act the way they act？ I don't think they know either， this book put words to actions。 When she does something， she learns why she did it and maybe she should or shouldn't have。 this is a good resource to have in the classroom， especially in cases where children might be acting out of miss behaving， they do not always know why they did what they did， it was a feeling they acted on that they don't always understand。 Why do children act the way they act？ I don't think they know either， this book put words to actions。 When she does something， she learns why she did it and maybe she should or shouldn't have。 this is a good resource to have in the classroom， especially in cases where children might be acting out of miss behaving， they do not always know why they did what they did， it was a feeling they acted on that they don't always understand。 。。。more

This book is very helpful for children to read and see different types of good behaviors that they can do in their day to day。 If a child is having mistaken behaviors this book can be read to them to see things they can do instead。 The illustrations are very fun and colorful to keep the children engaged and wanting to read more。 I would recommend this book to young children to help them learn positive behavior。

This book explores a child who interrupts too much with his important words and is perfect for ages 4-8 and。 It takes the main characters himself to get interrupted during an important presentation for him to realizes what his interruptions do to others。 This story uses language that is appropriate for children and the illustrations engage the story and the mood of the story。 Another positive about this book is that children are exposed to multiple perspectives。 The genre of this book is fiction This book explores a child who interrupts too much with his important words and is perfect for ages 4-8 and。 It takes the main characters himself to get interrupted during an important presentation for him to realizes what his interruptions do to others。 This story uses language that is appropriate for children and the illustrations engage the story and the mood of the story。 Another positive about this book is that children are exposed to multiple perspectives。 The genre of this book is fiction and fits perfectly into my social-emotional learning text set。 。。。more

Such a cute book！ This book lists a bunch of different words that describe what kids feel and do and defines them in a very memorable and basic way for students。

SummarytThis poem goes over the many adjectives that you can use to describe yourself。 Are you curious， respectful， or thoughtful？ ReactiontThis simple poem had nice illustrations and is a good book for younger students who are learning adjectives。 I think is was a fine book。LessontI would have students write about themselves in the same way as the book。 They would describe themselves in two sentences and end with the sentence “I am。。。” ending with their chosen adjective。

Summary: This book gives descriptions of positive character traits and examples of how these are lived out in kids lives。 Evaluation: The traits have good examples that are applicable to kids alongside them。 the book does not have a storyline， but it is a good way to introduce positive behavior。 Teaching Idea: I would use this book during carpet time to get kids thinking about positive behavior and how they can take action in these things。 This book is best for younger grades。

Wonderful story to teach about self-control and emotional regulation with children。 Wonderful illustration to engage readers and a read aloud that is appropriate for reading with lots of expression to hook readers into the content of the story。

This book is classified as non-fictional， targeting ages between Pre-K， kindergarten through 2nd grade。 It’s a fun-to-read rhyme That encourages good behavioral choices。 It addresses consequences of one’s choices and actions and how they may others。 The story is vividly illustrated; overall a good approach to discuss feelings and consequences。

Simple explanations of behavior based on specific traits。 Easy to follow and could be a spring board for good discussions about each trait。

2。5 stars/5This is clearly meant to be didactic and framed in a "child-friendly" way， but it is just so boring。 Lovely pastels。 Not a fan of that font。 2。5 stars/5This is clearly meant to be didactic and framed in a "child-friendly" way， but it is just so boring。 Lovely pastels。 Not a fan of that font。 。。。more

I guess I'm missing something。 True， the verses are clever， and the illustrations charming。 however， I don't feel the book does what it hopes to。 It does give examples of certain character traits， but elementary students were no closer to knowing what "capable" meant after reading the book than before we read it。 I guess I'm missing something。 True， the verses are clever， and the illustrations charming。 however， I don't feel the book does what it hopes to。 It does give examples of certain character traits， but elementary students were no closer to knowing what "capable" meant after reading the book than before we read it。 。。。more

Very colorful and I hope a useful book for parents and educators to use from our library。 We already had The Way I Act， so I thought this would be a good addition to our parenting section。

This book was a little young for my third graders， and I wonder how much they would have liked it if our librarian hadn't read the companion book to them last year。 Though it is young， it's a great introduction to a character discussion about self-control and the way that feelings lead to actions。 This book was a little young for my third graders， and I wonder how much they would have liked it if our librarian hadn't read the companion book to them last year。 Though it is young， it's a great introduction to a character discussion about self-control and the way that feelings lead to actions。 。。。more

A nice primary level book on different character traits。 Sadly the language is not clear enough for younger children， leaving this as a shared book where the adult reader spends a lot of time explaining things to the child。
