Judge Judy Sheindlin's You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover: Cool Rules for School
pbs-sherri avatar reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


This is a very good book elementary school kids to read together with friends or their parents and open a discussion on various moral choices for kids (and adults). Also, JJ gives them a common saying that kids have heard adults say (like "don't judge a book by it's cover," "a sheep in wolf's clothing," etc.) but may not understand, then on next page sets up a scenario/moral question with 4 choices (but no answer). It allows the kid to figure it out on their own then can discuss it with friends, teacher or classmates, or parents to clarify it for them and explain why each answer choice is a good or bad option.
