Editorial Reviews
11/01/2020
Gr 4–7—Readers become detectives in this imaginative series. Each title examines four soft skills, including communication, critical thinking, and teamwork. Each skill is described in a short, one-page introduction followed by an illustrated scenario to investigate. For example, in a scene depicting a school dance, readers must find instances of people being courteous. Case notes, which follow the scenario, describe the good and bad behaviors that were present in the scene but do not highlight specific examples. These books could be used for independent study or for class discussions. Back matter includes a quiz, a glossary, and an index. VERDICT This series packages lessons about soft skills as a very fun game. Recommended for classrooms.
