Excerpt One:

 

CC and I like riding our bikes through the neighborhood.
I pretend my bike is a Jeep.
She pretends her bike is a Beetle.
CC says it’s cute just like her.
I’m just ready to ride and have fun. “Let’s go!”

 

When CC turns out of her driveway,
her bike scratches her mother’s car. She is afraid to tell her mother.
CC asks me not to tell anyone.
Should I tell someone?

 

Green GO, Red STOP!


What YOU gonna do off top?

 

I say to CC she may want to tell her mother.
Being honest and admitting your mistakes are good choices.
CC goes to her mother and tells the truth. “Awesome!”

Review: “The traffic light game helps me make good choices.”

Book is a trivia guide book that asks the question of what would you do. Should we tell Mom about the scratch to her car? Should we let the different kid play with us? Should we help our elderly neighbor?

“Green go, Red stop! What YOU gonna do off top?”

Filled with colorful imagery that brightens the pages, this book is a great way to teach good moral values and critical thinking. It inspires you to stop, think, and then go.

A good read and a good lesson for us all!

 

Rating: 4 stars
