He felt scared, worried and wanted to run away! What child hasn't felt this way when approaching a new task that seems uncomfortable at school!! I know i have!! James also has to talk in school in front of his whole class. James tries some new foods in a salad! He was brave!! Not all kids like to try new food! The other kids are mean! James puts an end to their meanness and seeks Danny out to play! This is a wonderful example of being helpful and stopping mean behavior!! Every child can be brave to help a new friend!! The queasy tummy, doom filled thoughts and worries accompany James before he decides to be brave at the doctor's office!! Most children can relate to worried thoughts and maybe an upset tummy when emotions are strong!ĭanny is a new boy starting at Jame's school. I like how Michael Gordon, the author will describe physical sensations and thoughts in his books associated with emotions. His dad is right there encouraging him!! Sometimes it's easier to be brave with family close by!! What child doesn't get nervous at the doctor's office? James once again is brave and let's the doctor examine him.
The opening story shows James knocking down a plate on the table by accident!! He could lie and blame his sister or say the dog did it!! Instead he is brave and takes the broken plate to his mother and says he is sorry! What a brave boy! Meet James your average boy who encounters some circumstances that most kids can relate to!
