Editorial Reviews To develop the theme of seven habits, Sean Covey has created a fantastic seven-chapter storybook for parents and children. Each of the chapters is an independent story that can be read separately, but later chapters build on earlier ones. Reading is a social activity, and this book would be a strong choice for parents and children to share during reading times. The author states three main purposes: to illustrate the power of living according to principle and character, to develop a common language between parents, teachers and children, and to help them apply the concepts to themselves through the characters. The book begins with an introduction of the characters that appear in all seven chapters or stories. One story, entitled Bored, Bored, Bored highlights the habit of being proactive and taking charge of ones happiness. Each story ends with a Parents Corner, in which the author points out ways that the story relates to himand maybe to the readerto make a personal connection. There are also discussion questions for parents to use to monitor understanding, as well as suggestions for taking baby steps for action. Reviewer: Charles E.
