Kramer & Jack Make Choices!

By Donald E. Sexauer

Reader Reviews
I thought the book charming and valuable for the lessons about sharing and adapting to a situation that
most children must deal with. Testing my evaluation, I borrowed a neighbors children, 5 and 7, and
read Kramer and Jack Make Choices to them. They loved the story and the illustrations, remarking
that it was just like their own relationship. The following day they knocked at my door asking to have me
read it to them again certainly the best endorsement of all!

This new book is a great sequel to Kramer Makes David Smile. Jack now is supposed to welcome his
baby brother with open arms (while jealous about his getting so much attention). The dog and cat get
along fine. Jack eventually adapts to his brother and the author uses words like mitigated and adapted
and compromise. I love that, because children learn great new words while they are enchanted by this
wonderful story, and its pictures. This story is perfect for the classroom or at bedtime, because the lesson it
teaches is a memorable one.

Jack was a naturally happy 9 year old boy.

He felt that life was generally very good to him. He loved his parents, his home, his pets, his sports and his friends.

And he enjoyed school thoroughly.

But he kept remembering how much better it used to be when he was petting a great big
