Mary Lindeen writes simple, easy to understand books. They don't use a huge vocabulary and are easily read by beginning readers as well as being useful for group discussion.

Working Together at School spotlights character education attributes through diverse real life photos and developmentally appropriate text. This would be great for my primary students in my discussion of collaboration and school rules in our class. I plan to purchase finished copies. Thanks Norwood Press and NetGalley for the ARC of this title.

This title is a non-fiction book for beginning readers. It is illustrated throughout with photographs of children and the adults that they encounter during their school day. The book elaborates some of the basic tenets of working together including, for example, honesty, sharing, fairness and responsibility. There is a detailed section at the end of the book on ways to reinforce a child's reading skills. This book could be used with young children early in the school year as a way to talk about ways to behave when in school.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.
