Full of little scenarios with moral dillemmas, this book asks the reader to pick A, B, or C -- three different ways to deal with the problem. For example, you haven't studied and are tempted to cheat -- should you pretend to be sick, peek at your neighbor's paper, or just do your best.

I'm not sure who this book is meant for. The fact that it's a picture book means that mostly preschool parents would be picking it up. However, my 5-year-old didn't understand the format or the choices offered and made the "wrong" choice several times. My 10-year-old found the book amusing, but it was a bit juvenile for her. Perhaps early elementary age kids would be best served by it. Too bad they'll never find it.

In the same format as "It's a Spoon, Not a Shovel," with questions and multiple answers to choose from - this would be a good conversation starter or interactive class lesson.
