Joy Says Children Should Try and Get Good Grades

This is one of Joy Berry's "Survival Series for Kids" books and I have to confess that my son Devon and I like them all. I've had them in storage for years, way before Devon was a twinkle in my eye, or my gal Sara's, and I'm glad I saved them. In this book Ms. Berry and illustrator Bartholomew, with your help, will tell your child why it's important to get good grades. It also explains the difference between a written and verbal test and it explains that when you get the wrong answer on a test you are finding out something you need to learn. Also, your child will learn that if he does do poorly on a test that it is not the end of the world, it doesn't mean he is dumb, just that he should try a little harder next time. The book also explains the grading system used in most schools and that for sure makes it a book for children a bit older than toddlers, however my toddler and I like it just fine. Get 'em started early, that's my motto. Though this book was written over twenty years ago, it still stands up. The excellent comic book type illustrations will keep your child interested as you read along with him or her. And for the life of me I don't know why these books are not easier to get. Joy Berry is good for children, that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. If you can get a hold of her books and share them with your child, you'll both be better for it.
