review 1: The book contains 7 cute stores using the 7 Oaks characters. There are 7 suggested habits to find happiness for kids: -Be proactive-Begin with the end in mind-Put first things first-Think win-win-Seek first to understand, then be understood-Synergize-Sharpen the sawVery cool idea, but I hated the Parent's Corner page being right after the actual story - could there have been an index? Awkward when reading it to my third graders. I liked the idea, but the characters were geared toward a younger crowd than some of the messages were (like synergize?!?!?!)
review 2: What a great book for kids. Both my son (5) and my daughter (3) love the stories and the characters in this book. There are seven stories, each one with tons of beautiful and detailed illustraions, ... morefocusing on a different "habit". The first one was about boredom, and the story about how Sammy the Squirrel finds a way to fight being bored. He goes all over town looking for a friend to help him beat his boredom, but each one is already engaged in something. When he gets to the last friend, she's sick in bed. Her Gram tells Sammy that he's in charge of making his own fun. Sammy sees a broken radio and asks if he can take it home. At home he fixes the radio up and brings it back to his friend so she can listen to it while she's sick. She's so happy with the gift, and Sammy feels great from having done something for someone else. At the end of each story there are questions and activities and tips. It really helps the kids take each lesson to heart. There is also great sections in the book just for parents. There is so much to like about this book. It can be a storybook, or an activity book, or a manual for teaching children important lessons. I took this book out of the library, and I'm so sad to have to bring it back! I'm definatley putting it on the top of my book wish list. It's great. less
