A baaaaaaaaaad seed. How bad? Do you really want to know? He has a bad temper, bad manners, and a bad attitude. He's been bad since he can remember! With Jory John's charming and endearing text and bold expressive illustrations by Pete Oswald, here is The Bad Seed : a funny yet touching tale that reminds us of the remarkably transformative power of will, acceptance, and just being you. Perfect for young readers, as well as anyone navigating their current world, The Bad Seed proves that positive change is possible for each and every one of us. Review: A book every teacher/parent should read! - I LOVE this book because the "bad seed" reminds me of my son. I don't believe there are any "bad kids" in the world but I'm sure kids look at themselves as bad if that is all they ever hear. I love how this story gives a sympathetic backstory on how he got "so bad" and how he is trying to do better and change his bad ways. Even though my son isn't perfect, he sure does try to do good and his behavior improves when people notice the POSITIVE instead of the negative. I absolutely love the last lines of the book where the other seeds are gossiping (another lesson) saying, "Hey! There goes that bad seed," and another seed sticks up for him and says, "Actually, he isn't that bad anymore." Then the "bad seed" turns around with a smile on his face and says, "I heard that." Moral of the story.....children are always listening. Focus on the positive rather than the negative and a child's self-talk and behavior will drastically improve. My son's 2nd grade year was so negative and he was always getting into trouble. I rarely heard the good and neither did my son. His 3rd grade year was amazing. The teacher really focuses on pointing out his good choices and what a difference that made in my son's attitude toward school. Thank you Jory John for writing this book. I also love the book, "I Love You Already" which teaches readers about friendship, love, patience, loyalty and forgiveness. :) Review: Kids learn to keep going - Used for read aloud ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,245 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Children's Manners Books #29 in Children's Self-Esteem Books #74 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 23,501 Reviews | ## Images ![The Bad Seed: A Funny Story About Change and Second Chances for Children (Ages 4–8) (The Food Group) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BzYosm8UL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A book every teacher/parent should read! *by L***N on October 2, 2018* I LOVE this book because the "bad seed" reminds me of my son.
