It’s fun to make friends and play with others, but it’s not always easy to do. You have to make an effort, and you have to know the rules—like ask before joining in, take turns, play fair, and be a good sport. This book teaches social skills for children using the basics of cooperation, getting along, making friends, and being a friend. Includes ideas for games adults can use with kids to reinforce the social skills being taught.

It gives relatable and specific, almost step-by-step examples and clear illustrations of HOW kids can join in and play with friends. I gifted this to everyone of my children’s teachers last year as part of the teacher’s first day of school gift and I plan to do the same with this book next year!
