Giving such ideas as helping out, sharing, singing, and so much more, What About Me? provides its young readers with a fun and rhythmic presentation of good and rewardable behavior for a more intimate and loving relationship with parents. An ideal addition to child counselor, family, school, and community library collections, What About Me? is very highly recommended for all little readers -- and their parents hoping to instill responsibility in their children character and conduct.
