Judge Judy Sheindlin's You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover: Cool Rules for School
Popular TV courtroom personality Judge Judy Sheindlin has a dare for  kids. When faced with tough tests of character in (and out of) school, children  are challenged to make the right choices. By using examples of problems kids  face every day and providing four possible responses to each situation, Judge  Judy helps readers build up their moral strength. For example, if your best  friend's goofy-looking cousin is visiting and wants you to go skating after  school, what should you do?(a)Tell your friend you wouldn't be caught  dead with her.(b)Fake being sick to get out of it.(c)Go along  with her; maybe she is really nice.(d)Buy her a mask. Parents and  children are encouraged to discuss each answer, or even to make up their own,  before deciding on a solution. But remember, "If you don't have anything nice to  say, don't say anything at all." As Judge Judy says, "Adults seem to have a  little saying for everything... Don't bite off more than you can chew. You can't  judge a book by its cover." In this fun and enlightening book, she helps kids  apply these wise aphorisms in their everyday lives to make good decisions and  get along with others.Judge Judy Sheindlin is the outspoken author of several bestselling books,  includingJudge Judy Sheindlin's  Win or Lose by How You Choose, which was also illustrated with Bob  Tore's cartoonish line drawings.
