I Just Want to Do It My Way! My Story about Staying on Task and Asking for Help

I purchased this book because of its great reviews. The book appears to be written for younger ages, however, it is very LONG, wordy, and repetitive. I do not recommend this book unless the child has a long attention span.

This is cute, but a little more jumbled than Julia Cook's Personal Space Camp, which was *excellent* in helping my kindergartener understand how to respect personal space in the context of a fun story. I was hoping for similar here with helping him understand listening/staying on task/classroom behavior. However this is not as good, less story more lecturing. AND it demonizes math a bit :( Not to happy about that. And it is not sure what less it wants to teach -- staying on task, asking for help, doing it your way, or what . . . . Disappointed and still looking for a book that can teach without lecturing …

Julia Cook writes the best kids books ever!!! All the books in this set are so fantastic with a "moral" so the kids actually learn the consequences of their actions and alternatives they could take. My 10 year old loves reading them. He's a little behind on reading and has a few behavior issues and these are perfect for him---and most of the other kids in his class! Great stories, great illustrations. Thank you Julia; I hope you keep them coming!
