Exellent Book!
Can a child understand what it means to forgive, to be wise, to be
tenderhearted, or to be orderly? A Childs Book of Character Building uses
an imaginative blend of simple explanation and interesting storytelling to
teach Christian behavior to children ages 3-7.
Personal Review: Childs Book of Character Building: Growing
Up in Gods World - At Home, at School, at Play, Book 1 by
Rebekah Coriell
A friend graciously gave me her copy of this book, and what a blessing it
has been! We read it over 12 weeks, reading one application of each
virtue each day, 4x/week. My kids and I adored it. I was tempted to let
them color in the pages directly, but as it was shared among multiple

children, I really couldn't. (I wish I had read Mrs. Thomson's review before
we read it: what a great idea, photocopying the pictures so the kids can
color them!)
In a world where molding a child's character seems to be sort of an
afterthought, if even that, it was so edifying to just have simple applications
demonstrating oft-overlooked virtues. Seriously, in a culture fixated on
self-esteem, how wonderful is it to have children being instructed about
contentment, meekness, or tenderheartedness? It spoke to my kids'
hearts in a way that surprised me...they were just ravenous for the
readings and follow-up discussions.
Volume 1 covers Attentive, Faith, Creative, Diligence, Patience,
Contentment, Obedience, Wisdom, Tenderhearted, Thankfulness,
Honesty, Joyfulness. I wish Volume 2 were still in print; alas, whomever is
selling it at prices ranging from $57-155 could benefit from a little character
development themselves.
