K-3Kids of Character series.
This leveled series makes somewhat abstract concepts accessible for early readers. All books follow the same structure: featured trait (kind, responsible, etc.) is first defined in general terms. Subsequent texts, accompanied by generic stock photos, highlight examples of that trait in practice in the neighborhood, at school, and at home, before the books end abruptly. They're not exciting, but they could be useful. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Kids of Character titles: I Am a Good Citizen, I Am Helpful, I Am Honest, I Am Kind, I Am Respectful, and I Am Responsible.
