K-3Funny Bone Readers series.
Illustrated by
Debbie Palen.
This educational storybook series teaches social skills: Penguin focuses on "Empathy/Caring for Others"; Band on "Cooperating." The teaching aspect is first-and-foremost, but the stories themselves are also mildly engaging, and the digital-looking illustrations give some personality to the characters. "Big Questions" ("What did Duck do to make his friend feel better?") and "Big Words" (brief glossaries) are appended. Review covers these Funny Bone Readers titles: Homesick Penguin and The Sunrise Band.
