Meet Reb Raccoon and the Making Good Choice Series Kids
The Making Good
Choices Series is an
interactive set of stories and illustrations designed to help parents and
kids understand each other
and to work together toward making good decisions.
For Parents: The Making Good Choices Series is designed
specifically for
preschoolers up to elementary school-aged children. Kids this age are
facing some of the first hard
choices they'll make. Sometimes it's not easy for them to understand what
parents want and why
they want it. In the stories that follow, the kids will make choices on
their own, either good or
not so good, and learn about important concepts that will set the groundwork
for the rest of their
lives. The language throughout is in a simple-to-grasp tone. The stories
are interactive in two
ways:
1) The stories are designed to allow you and your child to
interact together.
Reading the stories, you'll think of many similar incidents you and your
child have faced. Share
those situations and try to get your child to decide whether they made good
choices and how to do so
in the future.
2) Within each story, you'll see highlighted words and
graphics. In the
electronic version of this story, these words are "hot linked." By clicking
on these, you can jump
to another place for further exploring and fun.
For Kids: Being a kid is hard, isn't it? So many things to
do and see, and Mom and
Dad always saying "No" when you want a "Yes." Sometimes it's not easy to
understand your parents.
But when you make good choices, you'll start to understand them a little
more each time. That's
what the Making Good Choices Series is all about. The stories in this book
will help you make sense
of why your parents say "No", why they say "Yes" and how you can hear more
"Yes" from them more
often.
Following each story, kids, you'll get a chance to decide
if the character in the
story made good choices. In the electronic version, click on either "Yes"
or "No" and find out if
you made the best choice.
You'll also find special, fun things tucked into the
stories:
Plant a seed:
Kids, when you see this picture in the electronic book,
click on it and we'll plant
a special seed of understanding.
Gold star:
Kids, when you see Reb's Gold Star, click on it in the
electronic book and we'll do
something extra fun!

Karen Sue Wiesner is the children's book pen name of Karen Wiesner. When asked why this award-winning, multi-genre author ventured into children's books, Karen says, "For the reason I think most authors write children's stories: My son Cody is an avid lover of books, like his parents. I wrote CODY KNOWS for him when he was just a baby, wanting to highlight what a unique, special child he is. Cody looks at the world in an unusual way that I hope will captivate others as much as it has my husband and I. Candy's illustrations really bring out the single-day-of-adventure we go through living with our son. I wrote the Making Good Choices series for him and his friends. I liked the idea of combining the 'choose your own adventure' format I used to love as a kid with making it fun for kids to make good choices in the situations they face every day. These stories will also help young children learn to use a computer on their own, given its interactive qualities. Robert's fun, visually appealing illustrations really make the books come to life."
