Learning to tolerate different opinions, perspectives, and beliefs is vital to a healthy society. Slim Goodbody's Can't We Get Along? helps students understand the need and importance for tolerance, and the steps they can take to increase peace in their lives and in the world. From School Library Journal: Grade 1–5—These books offer clear and simple advice for children and provide adults with springboards for discussion and role-playing. All have appealing color photographs of a variety of types of kids (though they look a bit staged), opening scenarios, concrete coping suggestions, and solid reasoning. The book suggestions for further reading have no copyright dates, but the Web sites are all currently active and provide excellent resources. In Can We Get Along?, differences in skin tone, religion, wealth, language, and ability are all addressed. The book concludes with six skills for ending conflicts. The strongest title, I Said No!, explains why saying "yes" is easier. Then 10 refusal skills are presented with illustrations and specific language/behavior. There is some discussion about personal struggles and tough questions to ponder. Why Are You Picking on Me? deals with bullies and victims. Explanations for both roles are offered, with solid ways to avoid being a target. Telling an adult is listed as the first step, and suggestions for a school-wide bully-free zone conclude the book. These are solid additions to elementary collections.—Debbie Whitbeck, West Ottawa Public Schools, Holland, MI Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

The sensibility of the series is like that of an educational television show, with children dressed in T-shirts picturing the featured food sharing hosting duties with Slim, and the occasional singsong rhyme, such as the one in Dairy: I think it' amazing/How milk in your glass/Starts out in a field,/With a cow munching grass. There is a picture glossary instead of a textual one, which is fine for avocado and eggplant, but not so much for kohlrabi and falafel.
