Why Should I Help?- A Book Review

Dominique Book Review teaching virtues

Why Should I Help- Claire Llewellyn

I came across this book in on the “featured shelve” in our school library a few weeks ago.

This book is part of the Why Should I series of books by Barron’s books which our school library recently purchased for our students.

This book gives a balance perspective on the reasons why you should help others.

The story enfolds around a little girl and her being frustrated at having to do so many chores around the house. To her it seems like everyone is expecting her to help them while NOBODY is helping her with her chores.

Her father gently reminds her that there were occassions whereby she needed help and there were people around to help her.

He quotes this two occassions to her.

1. When she fell off her bike while riding it. A boy helped her get home.
2. When her dog Squeaky went missing the whole family, including grandma and grandfather went out looking for the dog for the whole afternoon.

After recalling what her father said the little girl realises that it does feel good being able to help others. She remembers the time that she helped her neighbour feed his fishes when he was away on a holiday. When Ben returned she received a nice souvenir from him.

There are several follow up activities suggested in the book which parents can do with their kids. I really enjoyed reading this book with Ryan as it teaches him how to form and strengthen relationships with friends and relatives.
