I'm Sorry

For my next outside reading I chose to read the book "I'm Sorry" by Gina and Mercer Mayer. I got this book from my mom who is a kindergarten teacher, and after reading it I can see why she chooses to read it to her 5 year olds. The basic plot is about a young boy who keeps messing up and having to apologize. He does things such as mess up his mother's garden, wake up his baby brother, and break his sister's dollhouse. He tells each person he is sorry after each incident. In the end, the young boy has messed up so much that his mother tells him "Sometimes sorry is not enough" and that it is better to just be careful. This is a good lesson young children should learn about!
