Critics Review
Kids don’t often get a chance to help others outside their families in meaningful ways. This book may change that….It’s a sure bet for groups and families focused on doing some community service.—Kirkus ReviewsThis encouraging book presents examples of children volunteering to help others and enjoying the process…Clearly, the answer to the title’s question is an emphatic “Yes!”—BooklistA good choice for schools with a strong emphasis on community service.—School Library JournalThe clear project descriptions and lively photographs show that volunteering is something that any youngster can do, with a little adult supervision. Hopefully it will encourage readers to become active, contributing members of their own communities.—School Library Connection
