As a mother of three young children I can recommend this book as something much needed in our society. Manners, kindness and politeness are fading less and less each generation. This book is a creative and fun way to remind young children about this trait we all need to practice.

As a school counselor and character education coordinator, I was always looking for books to use in my lessons plans for teaching character. This is definitely one that a teacher, counselor or parent could use to instill character in their children. Colorful, filled with rhyming words, set in the perfect setting, and written to capture the attention of a child. And children just love penguins and stories about their life in Antarctica.

This is the perfect book for me to use with my second grade classroom to establish our Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) program for the upcoming school year. It reinforces the characteristics of being a good citizen, which will be a springboard in establishing our classroom environment. It is great that it is a book of rhyme, because my students are at risk struggling readers, some of whom have been identified as dyslexic. I am also using it as a base for many cross curricular activities, such as a lapbook of facts on penguins, a research and technology project on penguins, a canvas art painting of Bentley, and a weekend adventure binder of activities which will consist of writings, illustrations, and a rhyming caption as Bentley will go home each weekend with a different student.

Cindy, thank you so much for making the trip here and giving us great performances!  I have heard so many positive comments!  I asked one child at the end of the day what his favorite activity had been (and you were among some fine performers!) and without hesitation he said, “the author.”  I hope you enjoyed your day!
