I give this book five stars for it's thorough and entertaining approach to teaching kids how to own up to wrongs they've committed against others. "No excuses, no explanations--absolutely none!"
And every picture is simply adorable!
Sassy Pants Makes Amends, is a tale for all ages; it models how to go about “fixing a friendship when you are the one who broke it.” In the first story, Sassy Pants, she went about breaking everything—rules, friendships, her mother’s heart…In this story Sassy Pants practices her apology and, with Molly's moral support, delivers it and then asks for forgiveness. With that accomplished she comments that apology and forgiveness were just the first part. Now, she wants to do amends to help the ones she hurt trust her again. It was a lot of hard work, but worth the effort!
The Sassy Pants series is a great set for young readers. Each book comes with a code in the back to download a free audio version of the book. Burn your own CD and viola you have entertainment on the road, or read-along practice to develop reading fluency, so many uses! To say nothing of all the conversations the story evokes. There is also a free parent/teacher manual see downloadables on her website.
Recovery groups have made great use of the story. The explanation of amends is simple and straight forward; it helps many in 12 Step programs. For more information you may go to http://sassypantsco.blogspot.com
