It's amazing to hear how quickly and easily these poems are learned and recited by the children. The expression in their voices and on their faces are proof that these words have made a positive impression. Social skills are easily understood and internalized using this enjoyable approach. The poems are addictive: my students can't recite one without rolling into another. Teaching cooperation and encouraging positive self-esteem has never been easier!

"I Like Being Me" is a wonderful resource for parents and teachers. This thought-provoking collection is filled with practical, down-to-earth "lessons for life" that adults try so hard to share with youngsters . . . usually without success. The book's clear and clever messages combined with supportive photos provides entertainment and insights for children, parents and teachers.

This leader's guide helps you to get the most out of "I Like Being Me." Not only are there activity suggestions for reinforcing and expanding each skill, but also literature that personalizes and brings to life the importance of each of the social skills. Mary Martha Whitworth and Judy Lalli have combined here to encourage the development of skills that very much need to be developed in our children.

This little book is perfect to read to a child and discuss peace. Although it had black and white pages and no color, the pictures grab you! I recommend it as a quick way to get into a discussion of ways we can practice peace-keeping in our communities.
