A Good Citizen is Fit!

This is great kitsch. Some will long for a world like this but of course it never was like this. But if you want to know why ALCOHOLISM means death to the nation, and why plain laziness is the trouble with many, this book is for you.

The perfect Christmas gift for a boy or girl

This book is really great for children and teenagers, becauseit tells how to be a good American citizen. It says, " Agood citizen is well-rounded. It gives you all the informationyou need with the right details and tips about work, friends,talk, play, spiritual values, patriotism, cleanliness, being a good neighbor, and many other interesting things that are very important. It could even help your parents. It should be at thetop of your Christmas list, because being a good American Citizenis how we will keep being the greatest country on earth.

Why it's never okay to poison your neighbor's dog or cat

This question and many other important issues are answered in this wonderfully refreshing book. It reminds me of my Boy Scout manual from the early 1960's with its style and artwork. Plainspoken and forthright, it helps you understand what it takes to be a true American Citizen. In this complicated world, where shades of gray dominate our perceptions of life, this book condense issues its author consider relevant to a few lines of black and white prose. If you find it easier to face the world with some well written, rules you will find this book a god send. Frankly, even my 4 year old can understand this book (I think she can read it too). This book will put a smile on your face for quite some time after you purchase it.BTW- The last product that if found this compelling was Ronco's GLH Formula Number 9 Hair System. That product put a smile on my face for weeks after I first viewed the promotional video.

The Good Citizen's Handbook: A Guide to Proper Behavior

I liked this book! It is one of those that you just keep going back to and find something new each time. Some will enjoy it for the nostalgia, but it can be enjoyed by all readers, and the message of "Good Citizenship" seems very timely these days, and especially applicable to government. I intend to buy several for gifts. It's the kind of book you will want to keep out and handy to pick up and read or show to friends.
