Be Good to Eddie Lee
This book is a great way to intiate discussion about how to treat special needs people with respect. Eddie Lee is a young boy with down syndrome who is left out by Christy and Jimbud, neighborhood kids. This book shows how emotionally intelligent and sweet that Eddie Lee truly is and if Christy and Jimbud would give him a chance they would figure this out. By the end of the story Christy realizes that Eddie Lee is actually a very sweet boy and that he should be treated with respect. This book is heartwarming and a great way to show children that just because someone is different than you does not mean that they are dumb or stupid.

This book seems like it's really good Eades. My mother is a special needs teacher so I know how people can over look the children who are "different." I think that this would definitely be a great book for younger children to learn about accepting all people, no matter what their differences may be. Good Choice!!!
