SORRY!

By Trudy Ludwig. Illustrated by Maurie J. Manning. From the author of My Secret Bully and Just Kidding comes a story about apologies and personal accountability. Jack’s friend Charlie gets away with all sorts of things by just saying he’s sorry—even though the apologies are always insincere. After they ruin Leena’s science project, Jack and Charlie learn their lesson when a teacher makes them show they’re sorry, not just say it. Includes discussion questions and a list of "Apology Dos and Don’ts." Grades 1–4. 8" x 10". Tricycle. 32 pages. ©2006.
