Am I a Good Friend? A Book About Trustworthiness by Robin Nelson - OPTIONAL

Nelson, Robin   Am I a Good Friend? A Book About Trustworthiness (Show Your Character series) 32 pgs. Lerner Publications Company, 2014. $24. NONFICTION

After a short introduction about how being trustworthy means you are a good friend, the author presents several scenarios for readers to consider. What action or decision in such a situation will show that you are a good friend, that you are trustworthy?
     The text offers only short answers to its posed questions, and is not formatted to facilitate research (no bold glossary words or clear headings, for instance), but it does add up to a comprehensive portrait of friendship that may be helpful to second and third graders trying to figure out social interactions.
