A thought-provoking book for kids by TJ Ludwig (Portland, OR)  5 Stars
March 04, 2009
In If You Had To Choose What Would You Do, the author realistically captures the social/moral dilemmas that children face in their everyday lives. After each story, the author provides thought-provoking questions to help generate discussions in the classroom or at home. What I particularly like about this book is that it gives kids the opportunity to really think about what they would do in a particular situation if they were in the characters' shoes.

Highly Recommended for Teachers, Parents, or Grandparents - American Author's Association Review by Karl L. Kruger (San Diego, CA USA)  4 Stars
February 08, 2008
This book, the first in the series, is the kind of book that I sought out when raising my young children. Humphrey, a licensed psychologist, does not preach values to children. Instead, she uses her years of experience to introduce twenty-five scenarios followed by a series of questions. These questions, ideal for teachers leading classroom discussions or for parents engaged in daily readings with their children, do not explicitly state a right course of action, but allow children to explore and fine-tune their own moral compass. The effect is the development of a child's own sense of fairness and what makes actions inherently right or wrong. I highly recommend this book, and the others in the series, for any teacher, parent, or grandparent interested in pursuing lively discussions regarding ethics and behavior with children.

Good questions but provide no answers by Rizvi Danish (N.Delhi, India)  3 Stars
September 11, 2007
The book provides thought provoking questions for kids but answers are not provided in the book. Although I know the right answers I don't the right way to explain it to my kid. Its very important for kids to understand what makes the correct answer "correct". The book is more useful for teachers, but its rather incomplete for parents like me.

Kids and parents will love this book 5 Stars
July 17, 2000
This book is such a wonderful way to open up dialogue with yourchildren. They love to tell you what they would do and you get theopportunity to share your values at the same time. I really think this is a wonderful way to talk to your kids about peer pressure and right and wrong so they are prepared to make good decisions when the challenges actually arrive. I highly recommend this book to all parents.
