A respectful boy is featured waiting his turn, recycling, saying thank you, and grooming himself. A little girl acts responsibly by feeding her goldfish, arriving on time for swimming lessons, and remembering her school supplies. Full-page, clear, color photographs accompany the texts. Both narrators are Caucasian. Responsible offers a more diverse cast of characters. The Web sites listed are more suitable for slightly older children, and one is directed at teachers. These simple introductions will supplement citizenship units.
