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.
