K-3Civismo series.
Illustrated by
Mark Beech.
In each book, Mayer uses specific examples to demonstrate how children learn good citizenship and character values. The brief texts are easy to read, but the advice can be vague. The Spanish translations are adequate. An appended activity is intended to reinforce the concept being discussed. Illustrations reminiscent of Quentin Blake add gentle humor. Glos., ind. Review covers these Civismo titles: Hacer amigos, Seguir las reglas, Ser honesto, Ser justo, Ser responsable, Ser servicial, and Ser un líder.
