Synopsis

RJ learns that feedback is just information that can help him improve and grow...even if it is hard to hear!

RJ's back in the sixth installment of award-winning author Julia Cook's very successful Best Me I Can Be! series, Thanks for the Feedback...(I Think!).

This entertaining story follows RJ as he goes about his day doing the things he enjoys, such as blowing bubbles, playing soccer, and hanging out with friends.

But when a couple of friends give him compliments, he just isn't sure how to respond! As RJ continues through the day, he hears from his teacher and parents that while there are many things he's doing very well, there are also some things he needs to work on. His first reaction is to argue and make excuses instead of accept constructive criticism.
