Trudy Ludwig delivers a story about real
kids and real situations occurring
everyday. In this book, Charlie,
Jack's friend, has learned that one
magic word can get him out of almost any
jam. If you get caught, just say
you're sorry. Even though it makes
Jack feel bad, Charlie's flip and
insincere apologies get by most people
until Charlie ruins a classmate's
science fair project and Jack stands by
to watch. Jack and Charlie learn
their lesson when a teacher makes them
prove their apology by actually doing
something. The book is great for
motivating children to think the
sincerity of their words when making
apologies or in their interactions with
friends; but it also encourages adults
to keep kids accountable for the
authenticity of their words.
