I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. 

GENRE:   Children’s

BLURB:

JJ and his friend CC venture out into the neighborhood on their bikes. They meet friends and encounter life challenges that make them think about their choices. JJ and CC must make decisions based on kindness, helping others, and honesty. JJ is guided by his fascination of traffic lights and the valuable life lessons his adoring and wise grandmother taught him. Along the way, JJ remembers what he has learned. Will JJ and CC make good choices?

Green GO, Red STOP! is an interactive and fun read for children to learn and understand the concepts of character traits and how important they are in life. The question to the young reader is Green GO, Red STOP! What YOU gonna do off top?

Excerpt:

We see my elderly neighbor unloading groceries from his car.
He drops the bag and his groceries go everywhere.
He is unable to pick up all the groceries from the ground.
He looks sad. He needs help.

Green GO, Red STOP!


What YOU gonna do off top?

CC and I jump off our bikes to help him. We gather all the groceries and put everything back in the grocery bag. My neighbor gives each of us a big red apple to thank us for helping him. “Yummy!”

MY REVIEW

This is very clever book that teaches wonderful life lessons to children when they read it. The story is about JJ, patterned after the author’s little boy. JJ and his best friend CC love to ride their bikes through the neighborhood. In every instance, the children are presented with moral lessons. Will they do the right thing or the wrong thing? They use this phrase over and over to help them decide how they should behave and respond to things.

“Green Go.

Red Stop!

What you gonna do off top?“

This book is a great teaching book, but also very entertaining. The children are very helpful and kind and enjoy the time they spend in their neighborhood. Children and parents will both find great meaning when they read this book.
