A good lesson in practising random acts of kindness
for the "school age" child. This does take place in
a classroom, as Mrs Ruler has about all she can take of the
children in her class being mean to each other. She takes 5
of them aside during recess, and asks them to practice random acts of kindness.
Soon the whole class is playing along, filling up their bulletin board with good deeds.
We both enjoyed this book.
We picked up this book, because we thought it was about a hamster,
but it is actually about a guinea pig named Little Whistle who lives in a toy store.
Princess enjoyed the "magic" that happened when the toy store closed up at night,
and all the toys "came to life".The illustrations are lovely too.
Little Whistle wakes up hungry and invites all his friends to a dinner party.
So much to do..finding just the right stove,etc to get ready.
Princess really enjoyed Little Whistle's grand entrance to his party..very sweet.
This book asks you to imagine a zoo where things are not what they appear to be.
Twice a year, the animals trade their "animal suits" with each other.One animal is told that he cannot trade until he can become a "better Tapir" Will he be a Tapir forever? The concept was kind of intriguing to Princess, and we got lost
down all kinds of "Rabbit holes" exploring the implications.What happens to the creature
who has to learn to be a better Tapir? You'll just have to read it and see!
No, you're not going to get the ending out of me! ;-)
Heather, if you haven't already read this with your boys..go today and pick it up!
They will love it...I promise!
