Bad words aren't so bad if you keep them inside. But once they come out, they have nowhere to hide.

They ring heavy in ears that hear them all day. And listeners may decide to repeat them some way.

Each book features five clever reproducible short stories that give young children the opportunity to learn about important life-skills and personalize each page with answers to comprehension questions and coloring. Each child may take his/her completed book home to share with family members. These coloring-book style stories provide educators with lessons in reading, language arts, vocabulary development, and affective education. Also included are supplementary activities and ASCA standards met for each story.
