Sophie and the Perfect Poem

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Sophie discovers a surprising truth about teamwork in this sixth picture book in the 7 Habits of Happy Kids series.

Ms. Hoot has assigned the class to write a poem, and everyone has to work with a partner. When Sophie is partnered with Biff, she is sure it's going to be a disaster. Because Biff is mean! But as they work together, they find they have more in common than they thought.

Featuring the lovable characters of 7 Oaks, this book addresses the sixth habit of happy kids: "Synergize." This story emphasizes focusing on individual strengths in order to achieve success as a team.

Horn Book Review

Goob's friends help him cope after his grandpa's death. Lily's batch of salty cookies teaches her about listening. Sammy learns to focus on his strengths. Sophie must work with the class meanie on a group project. Each one of these predictable stories is a thinly veiled life lesson, and the competent cartoonish illustrations may attract some kids to the didactic content. Discussion questions are included. [Review covers these 7 Habits of Happy Kids titles: Goob and His Grandpa, Lily and the Yucky Cookies, Sammy and the Pecan Pie, and Sophie and the Perfect Storm.] (c) Copyright 2014.
