Fish is Fish

Leo Lionni

Why include a picture story book about a fish and a frog in this section? Because it is a most graphic account of context and framing apart from the basics of being happy with one's own lot. Or as quoted on the back cover - " Lionni wisely proves that a minnow's grasp should not exceed his oxygen supply - ie that there's lots to be said for the life of even a small fish in a small pond."

How Full Is Your Bucket? For Kids

Tom Rath, Mary Reckmeyer, Maurie J Manning

Through the story of a little boy named Felix, this charming book explains to children how being kind not only helps others, it helps them, too. As he goes about his day, Felix interacts with different people -- his sister Anna, his grandfather, other family and friends. Some people are happy, but others are grumpy or sad. Using the metaphor of a bucket and dipper, Felix' grandfather explains why the happy people make Felix feel good, while the others leave him feeling bad -- and how Felix himself is affecting others, whether he means to or not.

If You Had To Choose, What Would You Do?

Sandra McLeod Humphrey, illus Brian Strassburg

Is it wrong to cheat on a test if everybody else is doing it? If your sister makes you promise not to tell that she's doing something wrong, should you tell your parents? Is it all right to make fun of someone else because the other kids are doing it? If your best friends are fighting, should you pick sides? It's never too early to begin talking with our children about values or to help them define and develop their code of moral conduct. The twenty-five situations presented in If You Had to Choose, What Would You Do? and the thought-provoking questions at the end of each story can serve as a valuable foundation to help you talk with your child about important moral and social issues. This enjoyable book will guide children through everyday problems and instill in them a sense of responsibility for their own actions.
