Reviews for Being a Good Citizen

[tessa.johnson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I bought this book for the library because I was looking for a way to introduce the idea of citizenship. I taught a few lessons about digital citizenship with my classes and wanted to start with the basic concept of citizenship, especially with my younger grades, and found I had nothing suitable. This book helps fill that void. The text is short and the illustrations are bright. Each page shows a different idea of what it means to be a good citizen. Suggestions include voting (of course), volunteering, shoveling your neighbors snow, being a caring friend, and being smart online. It addresses the ideas broadly and shallowly, which makes it an excellent book to introduce the topic with my younger friends.
