The Broken Toy

0/5 ( ratings)

This "Good Choices" book allows children to explore moral choices in a risk-free environment. Each decision leads to more choices as the story unfolds and, at the end, the reader is given feedback and advice about the choices they have made and a chance to try again. Research shows that children experience greater learning from making poor choices in a risk-free environment than they do when making good choices and here, they can explore both sides.
