Simone in The Importance of Being Nice
Sheer, unadulterated propaganda. I mean that in the nicest way possible, of course. This book (and another, Jason in The Importance of Doing Your Homework & Studying) are $1, and I’d highly recommend them if you teach a class of young kids of know anybody who does. Can’t get ’em started on the comics soon enough, and these are straightforward comics about values. In this one Simone has just come to America from France and is having trouble fitting in before a group of girls realizes that they’re not treating her fairly. The other one is about Jason wasting all his time and not studying for a test and then realizing the error of his ways and spending hours studying for the next test. If you’re an adult looking for some entertainment, you should probably move along. If, however, you’re looking for something new for your class that will hold their attention, you could do a whole lot worse than this. There’s a different e-mail address than above on this one, but I’m not going to delete the other one because they might both be active…
