As a Family Court judge and on her popular TV courtroom show, Judge Judy has seen the consequences of people making the wrong choices. She knows that a sense of morality is developed at an early stage, but parents often need help teaching their kids how to make good decisions. "Judge Judy Sheindlin's Win Or Lose By How You Choose!" is the answer.
In her first book for children, Judge Judy asks kids questions that reflect dilemmas they're faced with every day, such as what to do when you borrow a friend's bike and accidentally break it. But she doesn't tell kids what to do -- she provides a series of multiple choice answers and asks them to decide which is the right response. Judge Judy encourages parents and children to talk through the answers together, exploring the choices and examining the consequences of each course of action.
Along with Bob Tore's hilarious artwork, Judge Judy's witty, wise questions and answers challenge kids to make winning choices--for life!

About the author
Judy Sheindlin
19 books76 followersJudith Susan Sheindlin , professionally known as Judge Judy, is an American prosecution lawyer, former Manhattan family court judge, television personality, television producer, and author. Since September 1996, Sheindlin has presided over her own successful 3-time Daytime Emmy Award–winning arbitration-based court show series, Judge Judy, produced by CBS Television Distribution.
Sheindlin passed the New York state bar examination in 1965 and became a prosecutor in the family court system. In 1982 New York City Mayor Ed Koch appointed her as a judge, first in criminal court, then later as Manhattan's supervising family court judge in 1986.
It was reported in mid-2012 that Sheindlin was the highest-paid television personality, making $123,000 per day, or $45,000,000 annually for the 52 days per year that she tapes her show. In October 2013 it was reported that Sheindlin was still the highest paid TV star, earning $47 million per year for Judge Judy.
The series has earned her the honorific of "Court Show Queen". Sheindlin is the longest serving judge or arbitrator in courtroom-themed programming history, a distinction that earned Sheindlin a place in the Guinness World Records.

Another chance to choose your path with Judge Judy. A quick read with plenty of opportunity for conversations, and smart illustrations to boot.

Some of the multiple choice answers were hilarious, but this can't be really called a book.

Good book for family home evening or talking over a meal. It is simple enough for a four year old to understand. I hope she makes a second book about simple, everyday law. I'd like her to explain the one hit law where, if you're in a fight with someone and they die because your punch made them hit their head on the curb.

February 12, 2015This is a great book to discuss with your children morals, values, and how choices affect your lives.\nEach two-page spread presents a question with four choices to choose from. \nAgain, I wouldn�t have children read it alone. My plan is to go through it, a page a day, with my girls over summer break.\n

Book offers a platform on which to discuss some sticky topics with children, including stealing and finding a firearm. While 4 multipl choice answers are provided for each situation, sometimes more than one may be appropriate based upon each family's moral base.

Written for something for parents (or whoever) to share with children, but I can think of a few adults who could use a bit of solitude while reading this.
