I am working with Ruth Small at Syracuse University on a project to advise
a new children's TV show to be aired on PBS stations.  The show (intended
for 3-8 year olds) teaches values through stories and interactive drawing
segments.  Print materials accompanying each show will include lists of
recommended books for children (or for parents to read to children).  We
are looking for your recommendations on the best children's literature for
ages 3-8 with the following themes:
        Competition (accomplishment goes beyond winning)
        Perseverance (sustained effort can lead to success)
        Communicating with sign language
        Being nervous about an important event (how to cope)
        Being sensitive (seeing things from another perspective)
        Giving and accepting approval (the value of compliments)
        Listening (it is important to be a good listener)
        Building self-confidence
        Fairness (things don't have to be equal to be fair)
        Imagination
        Concern (taking action when concerned about someone or something)
        Talking it out (misunderstandings arise from poor communication)
        Good Manners

Please indicate which theme you're responding to and include a complete
citation whenever possible!

Thank you in advance for your assistance, your suggestions are invaluable!
