Our Review

This engaging picture book adapts the famous 7 Habits principles into seven charming animal stories that introduce young children to foundational life skills. Through the adventures of the Seven Oaks animal friends, children discover concepts like being proactive, beginning with the end in mind, and putting first things first. Each beautifully illustrated story presents these abstract ideas in concrete, age-appropriate scenarios that five- and six-year-olds can immediately understand and apply to their own lives.

What makes this character education book particularly effective is how it transforms complex social-emotional concepts into relatable animal adventures that children genuinely enjoy. Parents seeking meaningful read-aloud material will appreciate how each story naturally sparks conversations about responsibility, teamwork, and personal growth without feeling preachy. The animal characters' experiences with friendship challenges and daily decisions provide multiple entry points for children to connect these habits to their own classroom and home interactions, making the lessons both memorable and practical for early childhood development.
