Book suggestions, ages 3-8

["Barbara A. Toumbacaris" <btoumbac@MAILBOX.SYR.EDU>]

I recently posted a request to a few listservs for book suggestions for
ages 3-8 covering specific themes.  There are a few themes that we are
having difficulty with.  Below is an excerpt from my original post and the
themes that we're having trouble with.  If you have any suggestions,
please send them to me at btoumbac@mailbox.syr.edu
----------
        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:

* Giving and accepting approval (understanding the value of compliments
in encouraging or building up others)

* Listening (recognizing the importance of listening carefully when
someone else is speaking--it pays to be a good listener)

* Concern (understanding that if you are concerned about someone or
something, you should take appropriate action)

        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!  LM_NET, KIDLIT-L, and PUBYAC subscribers will be acknowledged
for their input.  TIA
Barbara
