How to Lose All Your Friends October 17, 2008 For the amount of money I paid, I was very disappointed with the quality of the item. It was a mini book....not the real size of a normal paperback. That book should have been priced half of what it was priced at. Buyers beware!
Great book! September 8, 2008 I ordered this book for the Lucy Calkins writing workshop series and can't wait to read it to my first grade class! My boyfriend (also a first grade teacher) read it to his class for a lead into writing about "How to be a good friend". Excellent book and really funny!
Must have! March 16, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As a school counselor and then as a therapist, I use this book with all ages, 3-18 to teach the basics of friendship skills. It's simple, basic, practical and the most used friendship book I've owned.
One fun key, is to skip the last page on the first reading. Then have the kids change the story by changing the words, (i.e. how to make friends.) Then skip the 2nd to last page and go to the last page, which then changes the the end of the new story pictorially. Even though, they may know what you did (the older kids anyway,) they love the trick. I tell them they are magic and they changed the story.
Great for Aspies! January 18, 2008 If you're child has a high-functioning autism or Asperger's I highly recommend this book to help him understand what NOT to do with his peers. It's funny and very tongue-in-cheek.
Sarcasm not good with young kids December 13, 2007 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
The book was OK but it was written in a sarcastic way which may not always get through to younger kids (age 5 in my case).
